As the Knight, the Queen, and the Duke try to coax him out, the king remains stubbornly submerged, enjoying his watery realm. What will it take to lure him from his luxurious bath? With each attempt more amusing than the last, the court is left in a sudsy predicament. Discover the surprising reason that finally gets the king out of the tub in this whimsical tale filled with humor and charm.
