Mr King's Castle

Mr. King wants to build himself a BIG castle. So he uses the closest available material to make the blocks he needs ? the land around his house that just happens to be home to his forest friends. When Mr. King's friends make him see what he's done, he realizes he's made a BIG mistake. Can he be king of his castle and a good friend, too? Young readers will delight in this second adventure of the shortsighted but well-meaning Mr. King. AGES: 3-7 AUTHOR: Genevieve Cote's mother is an artist, so there were always paints and colors available at home, as far back as she remembers. As she learned to write, Genevieve created stories about her (then) favorite animal, a mouse. This interest for both words and images never waned, so she eventually studied Art and Graphic Design at Concordia University in Montreal to become an illustrator. Her love of mice, however, didn't survive childhood. Over the years, Genevieve has been lucky enough to turn many talented people's words into images. She has illustrated a number of books for children, including The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, Minn and Jake by Janet S.Wong and La Chambre Vide by Gilles Tibo. She also enjoys writing her own stories. Colour illustrations
