Product Description

Product Description
Prize-winning poet, Carol Ann Duffy, and top illustrator, Lydia Monks, team up for a wonderfully imaginative gift picture book. "Queen Munch was big with cheeks as red as tomato ketchup...Queen Nibble was as tall and slender and pale as a stick of celery." Queen Munch loves nothing better than a big cooked breakfast. Queen Nibble doesn't like to eat anything at all. Can two such different Queens ever be friends?

5.0 out of 5 stars Mouthwatering prose and brilliant illustrations. Good enough to eat!, 8 Sep 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
WOW! This book is an absolute wonder, a mouthwateringly delicious longer-length picture book for 4+. It's beautifully written with incredibly vivid descriptive language and enticing vocabulary, a veritable hamper of brilliant simile and metaphor. The majority of these are food related: fluffy clouds like meringues, hair like a bread roll (Queen Nibble who is quiet as a mushroom) or a string of plump sausages (Queen Munch). Queen Munch who loves her food is lively, fun and colourful. Queen Nibbles is pale, like a ghost on a diet, has a special talent for making jewellery from the rain and is in need of a friend. Each Queen can learn from the other, and they become friends. The bright cheerful pictures reflect perfectly the 'foody' flavour of the text so Queen Munch's castle looks like a plump strawberry gateau and the trees are inhabited by colourful lollipop birds. If books were three dimensional, I would like to climb into this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, 2 Dec 2005
Having studied Carol Ann Duffy's poetry for A level, and consequently become thoroughly sick of her, I was very pleasantly surprised by this book.

It's a sweet and amusing story about friendship and embracing our differences; and the illustrations are superb. I would thoroughly recommend it.
