Rolf Myller ~ Atheneum, 1963
I still can't get over the awesomeness of Koko this morning... but I digress.
Architect turned children's book illustrator (turned sex guide author?) Myller takes us on a fabled journey through a kingdom where the wheel is concocted with some design savvy and a little trial and error....

there lived a king and his friend,
the horse named Hildegard.
The king loved Hildegard very much.
At least once a month
he would ride with her to the end of the kingdom
to keep the people there from becoming
restless and unhappy.


Obviously, the author had some beef with the places the invention of the wheel has taken us as the dedication reads:
To vehicular locomotion
traffic jams
and all other urban problems
which were made possible by the events in this book.
A little preamble to road rage, perhaps? Here, here.
