The King's Stilts (Classic Seuss)

by Dr Seuss (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Classic Seuss

The King's Stilts is as topical today as when it was first published in 1939.

It's the story of a devoted king who works hard and plays hard--and whose entire kingdom is threatened when his beloved stilts are stolen and he is too distraught to do his job.

Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), The King's Stilts nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life.
