King and King

King and King is about a Prince that cannot find a Princess to marry. He is introduced to many different prospects but cannot find one that he likes. They all show him their many talents, but none are good enough. Finally, another prince comes with his sister who is going to try and marry the prince. It is love at first sight. The two princes get married shortly after and they live happily ever after.

This book is a very modern version of a fairy tale. I understand why some parents might be angry if this book is available for their children to read in the school library. However, I am totally up for teaching students about what is in the real world. When they grow up they will not be sheltered from things such as gay couples. The parents of these children need to realize that they cannot shelter and "protect" their children forever. They will be exposed to it sooner or later. I would read this to my own daughter because I think that it teaches us that not everyone is the same and we need to accept others for who they are.
