Production notes

Twelve monarchs live in twelve small kingdoms that are surrounded by their courts. Each one of these kings and queens is the amusing incarnation of some typical childhood trait such as impulse, fear, mania, craze, desire, problem, sore point, obsession or pleasure. Children can recognize their own flaws in the characters which helps them to laugh at these traits, and then to learn to master them.
