A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears - Kid Book Review

Title: A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears
Author: Jules Feiffer
The Reviewer: Lucia, Age 9

If you liked The Phantom Tollbooth, you’ll love this book! Prince Roger is so happy that when he comes near even the saddest and angriest people, they burst out laughing! This care free prince is set on a quest by a wizard. Will he complete it, or is his quest to find a quest? But after three reports of “no progress” from the wizard, King Watchamacallit, Roger’s dad, loses faith in him. Does Roger have the skill to get through this, or is this a quest you don’t need skill for?

Read A Barrel of Laughs, a Vale of Tears to see if Roger is born a barrel of laughs, and then drowned in a vale of tears.
