I was listening to this and bells just kept ringing in my head of suddenly remembering this book. So apparently I'd read it as a kid and a few things had stuck in my brain (like the dancing bear), but I wouldn't have remembered it if you'd asked me. This was a super short story about a spoiled prince who runs away and makes his whipping boy come with him, and all of the scrapes they get into. I think this is one my boys would enjoy being read to them. I liked it well enough too. It was cute and fun, but I'm not sure I feel like it deserved to win the Newbery.
