Oceanhouse Media's latest Dr. Seuss digital book app is the 1939 classic, The King's Stilts, available on iOS for the special introductory price of $3.99. Written in prose rather than the familiar Dr. Seuss verse, Dr. Seuss shows us that play is just as important as hard work.
King Birtram of Binn spends his days keeping a watchful eye on his kingdom. After a long day of work, the king is ready to play and races around the palace on a pair of red stilts. When the King's stilts are stolen, all havoc breaks out in the kingdom causing him to neglect his royal duties. It's not until the stilts are finally returned that things get back to normal and the king finds a loyal friend to share in his afternoon fun.
