Story Behind The Book
Mitchell Biesemeyer was inspired to write this story by one of his professors at the University of Oklahoma. "Dr. J. Rufus Fears was an exceptional professor who taught classes on freedom in Greece and Rome. His passion for history was infectious, and each of the stories he shared in class had valuable life lessons that are still relevant today. Dr. Fears' classes really fueled my desire to make these ancient stories accessible to the children of today."

<p>Susan Clark <em>(has taught 1<sup>st</sup> grade for 21 years)</em><br /> This book was an interesting read. I always enjoy books that have a lesson behind the story. It’s fun for kids to be able to identify the moral of the story and how it relates to their everyday life. I also like the fact that the story keeps you guessing on what is going to happen to the greedy king. I know kids would enjoy the story.</p> <p dir="ltr">Ingrid Ahrens Massey<em> (has taught for 16 years; first in first grade, now as an assistant professor of reading)</em><br /> This book delivers a wonderful message that all young children could benefit from and includes rich vocabulary that could spark lively conversations and great lessons in the classroom. </p>
