Max and Ruby's Midas

Rosemary Wells

Too many cupcakes are Max's idea of heaven, but his big sister, Ruby, doesn't agree. To cure Max's sweet tooth, Ruby reads him the story of King Midas. Her version tells of Little Prince Midas, who learns how to vaporize the nutritious meals that his loving family prepares for him. Just don't get in the way of his laser-beam eyes!
