King Ethelbert of
Portocristo is a little tyrant. This six-year old king is spoiled rotten
and is used to getting everything his heart desires. Not only is little
tyrant spoiled, he is grouchy, whiny, demanding, and extremely
self-centered. So imagine his surprise when things don't always go the
way he expects. For instance, he is transported back in time to the age
of the dinosaurs, his new bodyguard is never lets him have a moment to
himself, he kicks Santa Claus in the rear end (never a good thing), he
needs a mascot to join the great car race (and his mascot is not very
good), he finds out that making duplicates of himself does not turn out
the way he expected, a treasure hunt for his dead aunt's gold against
his rich cousin Sigismund ends strangely, an enlarging machine goes
haywire, and so much more. It is one adventure after another in
Portocristo with King Ethelbert, and you won't believe what happens.
Tiny Tyrant
by Lewis Trondheim and Fabrice Parme is a graphic novel starring the
troublesome young ruler from Portocristo, King Ethelbert. This book was
translated from French to English by Alexis Siegel. This book is
intended for children ages 8 and up, but I highly recommended for
readers of all ages.
