About this book

A hilarious picture book about creativity, courage, and standing up for your ideas—even when someone in charge says they stink.

From the award-winning author of Please Get Your Shoe off My Brother! comes a laugh-out-loud story about big imaginations and even bigger egos.

In the chaotic kingdom of Kaosville, only one idea matters: the King’s.
Unfortunately… his ideas stink.
And even worse—he’s banned everyone else’s ideas entirely.

That’s a royal disaster for a magician named Kadabra, a chef named Kebab, and a nervous thinker named Kabibble. But these three quirky rebels aren’t giving up. They’ve got ideas—and they just might be the only ones who can save the kingdom from total insanity.

This Funny Picture Book Helps Kids:
~ Feel proud of their own ideas—even if others don’t “get” them at first
~ Understand why listening is a leadership superpower
~ Learn that even kings (and grown-ups!) can be wrong
~ See how teamwork and creativity can turn problems into possibilities
~ Discover that sharing your voice can change everything

Perfect for Ages 3-9
Whether you're reading at bedtime or cracking up during story time, this playful tale is perfect for:
~ Families with creative, opinionated kids
~ Teachers exploring open-mindedness, leadership, or problem-solving
~ Any child who’s ever heard, “That’s a terrible idea!”—and kept thinking anyway

With vibrant illustrations and a royal mess of a storyline, The King Who Thought Everyone’s Ideas Stunk is a clever, empowering picture book that reminds kids: Every idea matters—especially yours.
