Product Description
The King is about to star in a brand new story but - wait a minute! What's this? The story has disappeared! You'd better go and do something else instead...What? You're still here? Well, then you'll see the King frantically galloping through Storyland to piece together the fragments of his story, with some very unlikely interventions (and help) and some very familiar faces doing some very unfamiliar things.And look out for the pea. He's the real star of this show!

This is a glorious book! It invites participation and lots of shouting, as the King goes looking for his story and turns repeatedly on his audience to say, "Don't read this book!". Perhaps best avoided at bedtime, when you are looking for a calming story, but to create a love of books you are definitely on to a winner with this. My kids loved it.

This is a hit with my 7 year old son. The illustrations look very tactile and craft like. Similar to Charlie and Lola. The story is full of jokes and nods to familiar fairy tales but with a twist. There are lots of laughs at the slapstick humour in some of the pictures. A real winner in our house.

How many of you can resist a book that tells you "Don't read me"? And then in the first few pages tells you to Go away! A book whose whole story is that there is no story.....
My daughter and I (she's 6, I'm not) sat in the library today giggling as I read it out loud and by the third page I had additional audience, also giggling.
A must for any child's bookshelf.

This book isn't ready to be read - as the title makes clear. Which of course means any small child will be desperate for you to open it and start reading.... Read more
