About This Book
A boy, several animals, an astronaut, and a star name the kingdoms they rule over.
Wonderlit Review
This classic Bill Martin picture book, though simple, offers a charming exploration of imaginative play. A young boy, various animals, an astronaut, and even a star each take turns declaring themselves 'king of the mountain' and naming their unique kingdoms. The narrative is gentle and repetitive, making it ideal for young listeners and emergent readers. It subtly encourages children to embrace their own creativity and find joy in the world around them, whether real or imagined. This book is perfect for a cozy read-aloud session, especially for preschoolers and early elementary children who enjoy simple, whimsical stories.
