King and king is a book like Prince and Knight in that the Prince has to marry to carry on the throne. A variety of princesses are paraded in front of him, but he falls for the brother of one, a prince. They get married and live happily ever after. I think the reason that this book is not as heard of as Prince and Knight, even though it has been around since 2000, are the illustrations. The best illustration in the book is the cover. Some of the pictures are just not appealing. And it is because of this, that even thought I am against Banning Books, I would not buy this one for my collection. (

Yay for more picture books featuring lgbt characters! Nay for the way women were portrayed in this particular book.

This book has been challenged. The book is about a Queen who wants her son to get married. The prince says he has never really liked princesses much. The queen gathers princesses from near and far to meet the prince, but none of them catch his eye. Finally his heart feels a jolt. It is not for a princess though, but for the handsome prince that walks in.The two princes get married and live a happy life. The Queen is also married because her son is finally married. The last page of the book shows the two princes kissing with a big heart over their mouths. This book has been challenged by parents on the grounds that is inappropriate for children and also the kissing page undermines religion. I think this book is fun and light hearted for children. Today same sex marriages are becoming more of a norm and I think it is important for children to see that in the books they read or shows they watch. (

In this mischievous twist on the picking-the-princess motif... Silly but affectionate collage illustrations match the text for whimsical irreverence, and the whole thing is so good-natured that only the most determined ideologue will be able to take offense.

Reading King & King makes one feel as if one has gone to "one big party" as well. And I, for one, had a marvelous time!

Gr 3-5 - Originally published in the Netherlands, this is a commendable fledgling effort with good intentions toward its subject matter. Unfortunately, though, the book is hobbled by thin characterization and ugly artwork.

Despite its gleeful disruption of the boy-meets-girl formula, this alterna-tale is not the fairest of them all. For a visually appealing and more nuanced treatment of diversity in general, Kitty Crowther's recent Jack and Jim is a better choice. Ages 6-up.

[Starred Review] Indeed a book whose time has come, this is no pusillanimous bibliotherapy; it is, rather, a joyful celebration that at the same time firmly challenges the assumptions established and perpetuated by the entire canon of children’s picture books. Hurrah to newcomers de Haan and Nijland and to the publisher for bringing them to an American audience. (Picture book. 5-7)
