The people of the Kingdom of Glee are always happy. Sure that he knows the secret, mean Wizard Wroth from the Kingdom of Angry sends monsters to steal King Gentle’s gold. What will happen to the kingdom?

A cute story with an obvious message, I found The Kingdom of Glee to be charming to read. Tana wrote the book in rhyming couplets, with only a few of them being forced and taking a couple tries to read correctly. The combination of the fun writing and bright illustrations makes this book a great addition to any collection of children’s books.
