The Cook and the King

Fun story with beautiful illustrations.

Not our 1st book for the author ...just great

Nice book for kids grade 1 and timely delivery

One of our favourite Julia Donaldson books. Delightful read.

Nice story

I bought this hard back book thinking it was a board book my mistake, so i wasn't able to gift it to the intended three year old i bought it for. This wasn't a problem as my six year old knew the story and was keen to asked to keep this book, The Cook And The King, which is a great story to read, the story tells how the King begins his search of finding a cook, but ends up employing Wobbly Bob who s anything but a cook! And what the king fails to realise is he does his own cooking but only once he’s caught his own fish, oh and dug up some potatoes to cut into chips to go with his fish. A very amusing, funny, witty and silly multi talented King indeed. The illustrator David Roberts really has captured the characters with the very vocal king and Wobbly Bob that they appear to come to life. Just one very small downside i hadn’t experienced before, was the book is of a large size, holding the sleeve onto the book turning the pages wasn’t as smooth as a paper back of similar size. I also wouldn’t recommend this for little hands as the pages are too big for little one’s to turn them over. A great book for a teacher to read and show her class. Thank you for reading please click helpful if my review was helpful thank you.

Well it’s Julia Donaldson so what’s not to like
