“'No, no! My friends want you, instead. To come and visit them.' I said.“ This is a fun part of the book to stop and ask students what they think may come next. Throughout the story the character has brought animals to the King and Queen's castle so it will be interesting to hear what the students think will come next.
The colors and images in this book are very detailed and help tell the story that is left out of the writing.

pick4 ⭐This book may be a little long, but the story is heartfelt. It is about a selfish king who wants presents and gifts from everybody. The one present he can‘t have is a quilt from the lady in the mountains. She only makes quilts for people who can‘t afford them. She tells the king give of yourself and I will make you a quilt. The king will not do this. Instead, he punishes the old lady and in turn just punishes himself.
pickAlthough sensibilities have obviously changed since 1974, particularly with regard to James's relationships with his “favourites“, it was still an interesting read and particularly informative about his time in Scotland before inheriting the English throne
