The King of Skittledeedoo

The King of Skittledeedoo is a very happy king and so are his people, until one day when tragedy strikes the land. The kingdom burns down to the ground. From castle to stable, there is nothing left. The king escapes the castle wearing nothing but a towel! His people do not recognize him without his crown, rings, and regal clothes. They put him to the test to prove his kingly worth and he fails them all! He cannot even spell the simplest words such as mother or Skittledeedoo! Two children in the town decide to take matters in their own hands...through fun verse and a unique use of words, Patricia Rust gets children excited about literacy and challenges them to learn new words!
