Tiny Tyrant #[nn]

A grinning, gap-toothed boy king stands triumphantly atop a globe, golden scepter in hand, while a wonderfully weird crowd of monsters, robots, and fantastical creatures clusters at his feet — all rendered in Fabrice Parme's bright, bouncy style. Lewis Trondheim and Alexis Siegel bring us "The Ethelbertosaurus," a story that promises the kind of gleefully absurd royal adventures this pint-sized ruler seems born to cause. First Second's 2007 collection is a delightful package for readers who like their kingdoms small and their imaginations very, very large.
