Kings of the Castle is a cute children's story about friendship. George heads out at night with his dog Boris to build a sand castle and meets a strange creature he has issues communicating with. Will George find a friend in this new found creature?

The story is simple and the illustrations had a Shaun Tan feel, which we loved. I think the story needs a little more substance, but we still enjoyed it.

George wants to have a great adventure. He doesn't want to moon bathe all night. He wants to build a sand castle that will turn every monster green with envy.

They might be different creatures but they have the same idea to build the best sand castle ever.
