A rollicking, laugh-out-loud, fish butt–tastic tale about a fight over a crown—and the power it holds—with a surprising twist ending.
Once upon a time, in a peaceful village nearer than you think, a mysterious box appeared outside the gates of a castle. Inside the box was a crown and some instructions (well, one instruction): Whoever has the crown makes the rules! NO exceptions! So naturally, the guard who found the crown put it on and became king.
This led to a dizzying tug-of-war (literally) between the king, the villagers, some fish butt–addicted alligators, and one very, very large orange dragon—all of whom believed the crown and the power were rightfully theirs. Needless to say, the peaceful village? Yeah, not so peaceful anymore.
Lauren Stohler lives and works with her husband Gareth in New York, where they create art and pug poetry under their top-secret internet pseudonym, Inkpug. Lauren is the creator of the Gnome and Rat series, which Publishers Weekly called "delightfully lively." Her picture books include The Best Worst Poet Ever, The Problem with Pajamas, and, most recently, I Am a GREAT Friend, which Kirkus Reviews called "a sweet combination of silly and tender."
