Notes:
(1) Bartholomew from "500 Hats" is now the king's page boy.
- May as well be a new character—he's just a generic boy scout type here.
(2) The art is exclusively graphite, with chartreuse green highlights.
- Eh, the whole sketchbook aesthetic doesn't do anything for me.
(3) This is the last non-rhyming Seuss book.
- It won a Caldecott, you'd think he'd have continued.
