My three young children liked this book. It's got some crazy stunts like eating and fishing in the bathtub. My little boy (age 4) loves it when asked "Who knows what to do?" on every other page. But my little girl (age 2) likes to repeat what the king says "yum, yum, yum."It's simple but outrageous story is a delight to young children. The children in our library loved to join in repeating "King Bidgood's in the bathtub and he won't get out. Who knows what to do?"The artwork is great, you can even see the entire court with perfect costumes on one page and looking like very soggy on the next. It received a Caldecott Honor for good reason. Someone out there knows children.
