Title: King and King

Summary: The story King and King is about a young prince who's mother is insisting he marry. She lines up all these young princesses to get to know the prince, but the prince was not interested. Eventually when one princess comes with her brother, something unexpected occurs.
Evaluation: The story is definitely controversial, and to some people it is not the appropriate book to read as well as teachers reading it in the classroom. Even though the topic is not the most common topic in the classroom, or in the home setting, there are children who will relate the idea of having two dad, or two moms, and it will be normal to them. The book does go about the topic in an appropriate, and mindful way, and the illustrations, and text are intriguing. I think this books would be good for children who can relate to this story, and give a fairy tale twist that they can connect to.
