Bookroo's summary

King Jasper's endless demands for magical creations—from dragons to rainbow kittens—spiral into chaos. As his kingdom teeters on the brink of a magical disaster, Jasper must confront the consequences of his desires. Can he find a way to restore balance and learn that more isn't always better? Dive into this whimsical tale where every wish comes with a twist, and discover if Jasper can clean up the mess he's made before it's too late.

From the publisher

King Jasper can order his wizard to conjure up anything at all: dragons, robots, superheroes, even rainbow-colored kittens—which leads to a magical mess only he can clean up. A hilarious, modern fairy tale, The King of Too Many Things will keep readers guessing with the turn of every page, while showing how always wanting more can ultimately lead to less happiness.
