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.
