Tiny Cedric. Sally Lloyd-Jones. Illustrated by Rowboat Watkins. 2021. [November] 44 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Once upon a time on the shortest street with the longest name in the highest palace with the hugest throne sat the tiniest king. His name was Cedric, King Me the First. And he didn't like being small. At all.
Premise/plot: Tiny Cedric learns a lesson...the hard way. Tired of being the small one, he decides, one day, to "banish" everyone who is taller....leaving a kingdom of BABIES.
My thoughts: This one was a hoot! I really enjoyed this one. It was just a silly, joyous book. I loved seeing Cedric interact with the babies! I loved seeing what the babies (and the king) would do next. Yes, there's a lesson to be learned. But it's also packed with humor.
Definitely recommended.
