In “MUSTACHE” by Mac Barnett and Kevin Cornell, a little girl serves as the voice of reason, questioning the king a few times throughout.

I mirror this with the princess at the pier and at the end when she presents King Liam his cake.

Even comedians have to practice and edit their jokes. And if there’s one thing we picture book writers know how to do is edit!
