Although I had an amazing childhood, and amazing parents, a book like this in my school's library would have added to my self acceptance as a gay boy. For the people who are concerned that schools shouldn't carry this and that parents should explain homosexuality to their children, sometimes the parents don't explain or accept it soon enough. I know this book would have and will help a lot of children if put in school libraries.

I bought this book to help with my grandchildren. They have a Gay Uncle and I wanted to help make them understand. The book was an opening for a conversation that answered some questions they had. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child that is curious.

Valley Gay Press Book Reviewer: Liz Bradbury (Author of Angel Food and Devil Dogs - A Maggie Gale Mystery) Like many fairytales of yore, this one deals with the current ruling monarch trying to marry off the next generation in order to pass along the thrown. In "King and King," the Queen wants her son the Prince to get married, whether he wants to or not. "Why, by the time I was your age, I'd been married twice already," she exclaims at him in exasperation.
She invites a series of princesses with a variety of diverse talents (opera singing, juggling etc.) to meet her son and commands him to pick one. Instead, he chooses the brother of one of the princesses and it's love at first sight. They marry and "everyone lives happily ever after." The post wedding kiss, is covered by a red heart.
The book is 32 pages, with very few words per page. It's illustrated in a cut-out collage style with bright colors and funny line drawings. According to editorial notes, its written at a 4 to 8-year-old reading level. This story presents a same-sex attraction and union in a sweet and child-like way. Its story line is direct and playful. And the out come is presented in a matter-of-fact way.
In this plot, the mother wants the son to conform to social norms and tradition. The son rebels and chooses love over the pressure of his family. And fairly quickly, the mother (and the rest of the Kingdom) comes around, and they live happily ever after.
This is the perfect book for supportive, tolerant families to use to be sure their young children know from the start that they will be accepted if they are gay or lesbian.Read more ›

After hearing about this book recommended on a parenting website, I was hoping to find a clever story that presented this topic in a manner that was dignified and accessible for young children. The cover at least looked cute. Too bad the rest of the art was hideous to look at.
But the ugly illustrations are just one of many problems with this book.
Frankly, I'm disappointed in how this story played out. The Prince doesn't WANT to marry at first. Instead, he is bullied into it by an overbearing nagging mother. Plus, most of the story was centered around the princesses he didn't choose because he didn't like their singing or their arms were too long or something else weird. Then he just falls in love with the first prince that walks through the door and decides to marry him just like that. I realize that "love at first sight" is a trope in a lot of older fairy tales, but too many Disney films are criticized for the medieval idea of having a girl just fall for the first prince she sees without a single thought to compatibility or personality. Is this tired cliche something the author really wants to continue?
This story could have been written a lot better. Why not have the Prince actually wanting to look for love (not just going through the motions to get his mom to shut up)? How about a parent who is understanding and supportive and not just a shrill harpy? How about the Prince meets another prince and gets to know him, THEN fall in love (you know, like people in real life do)?
I guess if you are struggling to find such picture books to introduce to young children, you may feel it necessary add it to your library. I for one found "And Tango Makes Three" a much better read (with the added bonus of having illustrations that didn't make my eyeballs bleed).

I have been looking for a book for my niece to help explain the love between her two uncles, however this is not the book. The illustrations are dreadful and could be seen as frightening for children. None of the people look happy. Then there is the story line. The book centers around all the princesses and their faults until a prince shows up in the last two pages and they get married... The love at first sight nonsense. And "everyone lived happily ever after" Please leave this book on the shelf and move on.

I love this book and think the sequal (King & King & Family) is even better. King & King is a fun story, unlike many of the gay children's books with address serious topics or attempt to explain in vitro, etc. King & King just shows another type of family in a happy tale with very cool drawings. Since my children have a very traditional looking family I think it's nice for them to grow up knowing ours isn't the only option. One thing about the drawings (which I do love), though, is they are very complex for very little kids. My son finds them more interesting as he gets older. I recommend this book for gay and straight families alike.
