K is good, polite, and always does what he is told. Yet, K always, always gets into trouble.

It seems that, no matter what he does or says, there will always be someone ready to accuse him of everything. K gets into trouble when he goes to school, when he stays at home, when he runs errands, when he gets sick—even when he’s simply thirsty. He gets into trouble with arrogant crows, meticulous stationmasters, pompous teachers, his own classmates… even with a good, fresh fish.

Whether it’s his easily annoyed parents or the overly sensitive pedestrians on the street, K makes everyone angry… without doing anything wrong!

Gary Clement uniquely approaches the absurdities of childhood in this hilarious story that confirms a timeless message: most adults know even less than a talking beetle.
