Paule Briere: The Undesirables, illustrated by Philippe Beha

In this pointed fairy tale, a king and a queen dream of having the perfect kingdom. How can they make it so? Dispose of all the subjects they view as undesirable! They begin to make a list from A to Z that includes the Archprickilys, the Babbilylips, the Crumpitycrocs, and the Dododungs. As their list grows longer and longer, they are in danger of having no free subjects left at all. But aren't those who are intolerant the true undesirables? A reflection on tyrants big and small, this beautifully illustrated picture book inspires young readers to think about what it means to be left out.
