Let's Take a Trip . . . To the Castle

This week, I thought we would take a royal vacation by book to the castle . . .

Over at the Castle by Boni Ashburn
An illustrated variation of the folk song "Over the Meadow," in which the occupants of a medieval castle spend their day spinning, cleaning, cooking, and dancing, until they receive a special surprise from their dragon neighbors.

May I Bring a Friend by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
A well-mannered little boy, frequently invited to visit the king and queen, always asks to bring a friend--and the friends are always wild animals--and always well-behaved.

Midsummer Knight by Gregory Rogers
A bear is rescued by a fairy in an enchanted wood and agrees to return the favor by leading the battle against a usurper who has imprisoned the king and queen, along with their loyal subjects, in the dungeon of their castle, in a text without words.

King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood
Despite pleas from his court, a fun-loving king refuses to get out of his bathtub to rule his kingdom.
