The King's Stilts is a children's book by Dr. Seuss, published in 1939. Unlike many of Dr. Seuss's books, it is narrated in prose rather than verse. The King's Stilts tells the story of King Bertram of Binn, who dedicates himself to safeguarding his kingdom, which lives in a precarious existence. It is surrounded by water, which is held back from flooding the land by a ring of dike trees, which are in turn subject to attack from flocks of nizzards. To protect the kingdom, a legion of Patrol Cats is organized to keep the nizzards at bay, and King Bertram sees to their care personally.
From out of the East they came riding like a merciless plague—destroying kingdom after kingdom and the sovereigns who had previously mocked the warlord Loethar and his barbarian horde. Now only one land remains unconquered—the largest, richest, and most powerful realm of the Denova Set . . .
A fantastical alliterative journey through the animal kingdom with thousands of alphabetically-arranged images and ideas to discover along the way, from An Armoured Armadillo, though Great Green Gorillas to Zany Zebra's Zigzagging in Zinc Zeppelins. Each letter of the alphabet gets the same treatment. ‘Animalia’ is Latin for “animal kingdom”, so animals are used in the letter themes. Each page contains a phrase using alliteration that alludes to the animal for the page. The page also contains a large illustration of the animal. The page is then completed with a large number of illustrations of items that begin with the letter.
In Spartan Gold and Lost Empire, Clive Cussler brought readers into the world of husband-and-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo, whose passion and instinct for treasure-hunting has led to extraordinary discoveries-and perilous journeys. Their next adventure, however, might be their most astonishing yet.
