Librarian, reviewer, and podcast host Travis Jonker and Caldecott Honoree Gracey Zhang spin a humorous tale about the hijinks that ensue when a greedy king demands 1,000 horses.

There once was a terrible king who wanted everything. And everything he wanted, he took. So when he decided that he needed 1,000 horses, his wish was the kingdom's command. But 1,000 horses are . . . a lot of horses. And soon the king realizes that he has more than he bargained for.

Author and librarian Travis Jonker and Caldecott Honoree Gracey Zhang have created a classic tale filled with humor and surprise that illustrates how possessions and riches mean nothing if you don't have a friend by your side.
