What is Don't read this book! about?

The King is ready to star in a splendid fairy tale, but there is one small problem: his story has vanished! Determined to find it, he gallops through Storyland, meeting familiar fairy-tale characters in surprising situations. As he searches for the missing pieces, the story becomes more and more muddled, with help from some unexpected friends—and a very important pea. But will the King ever find his story, and can the reader resist turning the pages when he keeps insisting: “Don’t read this book!”
