review 1: Closer to a 3.5. The Tiny King has an impressive kingdom. But his big, big castle is lonely without a family. I like the use of color and the contrast on each page. I love the way it opens and ends with small frames featuring only the king. This art is really unique and takes an otherwise boring story to the next level.It has elements that are good for storytime. There is a lot of repetition with items in the castle being "big, big." Big Queen and Tiny King have ten children, a perfect way to incorporate counting. Even the army's "left, right, left" marching would be an opportunity for the reader to move.
review 2: I absolutely loved this book from top to bottom and want to read it aloud to my SK group (and the JK too) over and over and over again. This was a
