bibliopenguinTitle: Prince's New Pet
Author: Brian Anderson
Series: no
Other works by Graeme Base: Dog Eat Doug, Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps
Categories: picture books, art, illustrated, colors, story
The prince's mother loved colors, and the kingdom overflowed with them. When she died, the heartbroken king banished all color from the kingdom, unable to bear reminders of his beloved queen. The prince and the kingdom grow listless in their black, white, and grey world. Then, on the prince's birthday, he is given a new pet. Can the prince protect his colorful new friend from the evil color catcher? Will color ever return to the kingdom?
The art is wonderful and engaging, and the few colors explode out of the grey landscape. Some of the story is told exclusively through art, without words. I loved the story, but even if I hadn't, the art by itself makes this book worth picking up.
