My kids (5+7) loved this story! It starts out with a nice farmer boy, who only wants to help his family. So he travels into the wide world, totally unaware of what he's about to get himself into. His 'simple' and practical way of looking at things bring him from one humorous situation into another. My kids laughed and cheered for him the whole way.And when he reaches his goal, the king, things really get silly. Even when the story was done, my children continued to ask questions as to why the kings did what they did. They really got into this imaginary world.The main character is easy to relate to and it's a pure joy to accompany him on his adventures. This is definitely a story we're going to read a second...a third... several times.
