The King of Kazoo (Family Comic Friday)

    King Cornelius, of the realm of Kazoo, has yet to make his legacy. He's lack of confidence and boastful stubbornness has made him appear as a joke to his subjects. But when his daughter Princess Bing, an aspiring wizard, notices a tunnel that has appeared on the summit of Mount Kazoo, the King thinks he's found his chance to earn a place in the hearts of his people. Along with his daughter and his royal inventor, Torq, and his new-fangled gronkless-speedster (AKA an automobile that Torq invented and the King took credit for) Cornelius conducts a mission to get to the bottom on the mystery. But in order to save the day, he's going to have to learn to trust the abilities of his brilliant daughter, Bing, and genius staff-person, Torq. 
    I thought the King of Kazoo was brilliant. The story by cartoonist Norm Feuti was funny, smart, and original. It combines a medieval fantasy motif with modern day creations like cars and mechanical men. Plus, there's the Frog People of the Swamp, an evil Alchemist, and lots of zany slapstick antics... The excitement never ends!
    I also didn't want this book to end. I wanted there to be a sequel and above all else, I want to see the King of Kazoo as either an animated feature OR a TV show. Just please don't make it CGI! That would ruin the whimsical effects that come alive with Norm Feuti's cartoons. 
     A fun read that kids and kids at heart will love. One of the best new books I have read in 2016!
