The Jewels on the Crown

by William Boniface, Ronnie Rooney (Illustrator)

There's going to be a party in the prosperous Kingdom of Ka-Ching, and the royal family is getting all dolled up. Whether it's Princess Pom-Pom with a jeweled ring for every finger, Crown Prince Hasalot putting on the medals he's won fighting dragons, or the Court Magician Maldemare decorating his hat with gold and silver moons and stars, this is one family that really flaunts it. With extra-thick pages and a treasure trove of over 35 glittering jewels and shiny baubles to place in the appropriate slots, this is one treasure hunt that kids will want to do again and again! Dazzling illustrations by Ronnie Rooney and a scintillating rhyming text by William Boniface make this a perfect addition to a phenomenally successful series that also includes What Do You Want on Your Sundae? , What Do You Want on Your Pizza? and Trim the Tree for Christmas .

About the author

William Boniface may or may not exist. Ordinary Boy, after all, tells his own story. Mr. Boniface could simply be a creation of the publisher in order to fulfill the requirement that an author be listed on the cover of this book. Given that possibility, there is no harm in revealing that Mr. Boniface has lent his name to over two dozen far less wordy children's books that were also in need of an author. Unless, of course, he didn't, which would make this entire biography irrelevent.
