Mr. King likes new things. When his stuff gets the slightest bit old, he just tosses it into the pond. But when a pond monster frightens Mr. King, he must think of new ways to deal with old messes with delightful results! Ages -3-7 AUTHOR: Genevieve Cote's mother is an artist, so there were always paints and colors available at home, as far back as she remembers. As she learned to write, Genevieve created stories about her (then) favorite animal, a mouse. This interest for both words and images never waned, so she eventually studied Art and Graphic Design at Concordia University in Montreal to become an illustrator. Her love of mice, however, didn't survive childhood. Colour illustrations
