King Hugo's Huge Ego

Reach for this book when your child is going through a phase of bragging, showing off, or struggling to share the spotlight with others. King Hugo's Huge Ego uses high-energy humor and whimsical rhymes to tackle the concept of narcissism and social awareness without being overly preachy. It is an ideal choice for the child who may be acting a bit bossy or unkind to peers, providing a safe, laugh-out-loud way to discuss how our attitudes affect those around us. As the King's head literally grows larger with every boast, children ages 4 to 8 will easily grasp the metaphor of an inflated ego. The story highlights the importance of humility and the social consequences of looking down on others. Parents will appreciate the rich vocabulary and the clear moral arc that ends in a necessary, humble apology, making it a perfect tool for modeling behavioral correction through a fantastical lens.
