Description
Book SynopsisBen is king of the jungle. He does exactly what he pleases, as a king should. And he has everything a king could want: noble steeds, castles, and servants. What Ben doesn’t have is a loyal subject. Then he meets Rhino…and finds out what being a good king is all about.
Trade Review“The mixture of playful imagination and real-world setting (save for the anthropomorphic animal citizens) will help little readers draw out the parallels Ben and Rhino have to their own friendships. While not preachy, this is a useful text for examining what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to play. A dynamic and affecting story about what it takes to maintain a friendship.” —Kirkus Reviews “Throughout, Sailer’s relatively formal text…contrasts amusingly with the energetic, vibrant cartoon illustrations, which, along with the lively animal cast, leavens the message of being considerate to others, including how giving and sharing—not demanding and taking—can be mutually enjoyable and rewarding.” —Booklist
