review 1: King Hugo thought a lot of himself -- so much so that he annoyed everyone he met. But when he bullied a lady who happened to be a sorceress, she put a spell on him to make his head grow whenever he acted conceited. Of course, King Hugo's head started growing. And growing. He thought his big head was just fine until one day it blew away like a balloon in a high wind.An amusing rhyme story, illustrated by the author in bright, splashy colors and an almost-cartoonish style that will appeal to all ages. I'm delighted that the author did not limit his vocabulary to the preschool level. Older children and adults will enjoy reading it to the little ones, and the little ones will pick up some good, entertaining words. Ages 4-10.
review 2: Cute! This is a primary rated ... morechildrens book. Well written by Chris Van Dusen, King Hugo's Huge Ego is about a very self indulged king who is cursed when he encounters a common woman and his head keeps growing and growing and growing. The illustrations are wonderful and very vivid. I really enjoyed reading this book. I think it is very cute and a good read for children. I enjoy books that send a message to the readers. I would definantly use this book in the classrooom to help teach character. less
