Zelinsky.This hilarious book manages to illustrate a fact or two about shapes while providing a three-dimensional stomping ground for best friends Moose and Zebra. What will happen?

Once upon a time there was a tiny king who lived in a big castle guarded by lots of big soldiers.

The tiny king is very sad and lonely, until one day he meets a big princess and asks her to be his queen. Not long after, they are blessed with children -- lots of children. Now everything is just the right size, bath time is a real riot, and the tiny king sleeps soundly at last.
