King of the Bogeymen

By Štěpánka Sekaninová

A small bumblebee guide leads you through the halls of an ancient castle, searching every shadowy room for its ruler--who's hiding, as always, from sheer boredom.

Guided by a bumblebee narrator, young readers wander a mysterious stone castle in search of its ruler, the King of the Bogeymen. Along the way they pass clattering knights in the courtyard, a chaotic kitchen run by Master Skeleton, and a grand monster ball where vampires and wild-women dance the night away. Filip Posivač's richly textured collage illustrations turn every spread into its own atmospheric world, right up to a clever final twist in a small chamber with a very telling mirror.

Perfect for repeat read-alouds, King of the Bogeymen is an immersive hide-and-seek adventure built for young readers who love a good spooky-but-silly castle mystery.
