Published Reviews
Publisher's Weekly Review: "The King of Storks befriends a drummer boy and helps him woo a princess. PW was surprised to find ``such a sexy, bare-breasted lass as the princess in a children's book,'' but added that the illustrations ``capture the essence ofthe characters from the classic story.''(68) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
