Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The King of Spring
Nick Page · 2005
66/100
👎 Skip It
A cheerful Easter early-reader with dyslexia-friendly design and built-in activities — the kind of thing a classroom or Sunday school shelf genuinely needs. The catch is that it is very short and very thin: the dossier shows no narrative depth, no awards, and scant critical reception, so there is not much to hang a strong recommendation on. Fine for what it is, but too slight to earn a confident thumbs-up.
