An imaginative boy brings a surprising array of friends to dine at the palace in this Caldecott Medal-winning picture book.
One day, a small boy receives a very special invitation--the King and the Queen have invited him to the castle for tea. He accepts, with one question: "May I bring a friend?"
"Any friend of our friend is welcome here," says the King. But their guest's friend turns out to be someone they never expected
