829 (2018 #43). Catalina and the King's Wall

Carolina and the King's Wall made me laugh out loud, with author Patty Costello's not-so-subtle references to current politics:  a king who wants to build a wall to keep out people from a nearby kingdom, who "clearly had no plan of his own," and whose "face turned from orange to red" when he got angry.  Clever puns are a plus; the illustrations by Diane Cojocaru are colorful and cartoonish.
