The King of Quizzical Island — Gordon Snell
Gently absurd and delightfully entertaining, this rhyming tale of a curious king on a singular search evokes the playful tradition of Edward Lear.
THE KING OF QUIZZICAL ISLAND
HAD A MOST INQUISITIVE MIND.
HE SAID, "IF I SAIL TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD,
I WONDER WHAT I'LL FIND?"
When his wily old Wizard and Whispering Witches can t answer the king s question, he makes up his quizzical mind to find out for himself. And so, in a ship made of wood from the Tea-Bag Tree and despite the fears of his faithful that he ll fall off the edge the king sets off on a wondrous adventure across a topsy-turvy world. Fresh, funny, and imaginative black-and-white drawings by David McKee illustrate Gordon Snell s rhythmic text in a tale that begs to be read aloud."
