From debut author Brittany Pomales comes a hilarious tale about a young king who, on the morning of his birthday party, decides everything that starts with the letter P must go!King Liam is known for his king-sized meltdowns. So when he has a dream that his birthday
party was going to be ruined, he takes drastic measures. The only
problem is that he can't remember what was going to ruin the
party, just that it started with the letter
P!
Everything must go! Obviously the
party is
postponed, but he also says goodbye to
pepperoni pizza,
piñatas,
pants (long, short, old, new, smarty, fancy),
parrots; even the royal goat,
Percival (after he's eaten all of the abandoned
pants), and more.
But... when he sends away all of the
people, he finds himself
positively alone. On his birthday. Will King Liam ever discover what that
pesky and
problematic P is?
