A beloved king must find an heir to take his place. As King of the Cocoa Beans, he uses chocolate to devise a riddle: How can chocolate bring true happiness? Whoever answers the riddle correctly will be King or Queen. A number of people come and try their best to solve the riddle, but ultimately, only one discovers the correct answer.This book is a fantastic find for educators and parents. The King's Riddle primarily focuses on fractions. The first few people who try to answer the king's question help build a conceptual understanding of fractions. The school teacher who tries his luck in answering the question gives an explanation with pictures, words, and numbers to demonstrate multiplying fractions.On another level, the applicants are a variety of ages and backgrounds, and while each person may not have the exact answer the king is seeking, each is shown to have a valid perspective. Ideas for writing prompts, and discussions about qualities a leader must have, naturally spring from the plot, encourage thinking as well as writing skills, and make this book ideal for home and classroom use.
