This review is from: The Wizard and King Whifflegroan (Hardcover)

This is the story of a King who refuses to take a bath. As a result, he constantly has flies buzzing around him. He tires of the flies and orders his wizard to get rid of the them. What he does not realize is how in granting that wish, a chain reaction is started with animals and then people leaving his kingdom as a result of the flies being gone. The spiders left because they need flies to survive. The swallows left because they like spiders, and so on. The King realizes that he has no kingdom without the flies as everything is so connected. It starts children thinking about that connection in nature, which is an important message told in a fun way. My kids enjoyed the book, as well! I highly recommend it.
