Charlie Cook's Favourite Book: 1

Product Information

I wanted all the books to look very different - in different styles - but in the end there wasn't enough time to work that out (may be I would have failed anyway).

Charlie Cook is reading a book about a pirate captain, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading about a knight, who is reading about a frog. There is nothing really scary in these shows but they can be a bit more dramatic than those for the youngest children, including in their use of sound and lighting, and characters may face some perils. They will provide a linguistic and artistic interpretation of the show for people who are D/deaf or for whom BSL is their preferred language. Charlie Cook is reading a book about a pirate captain, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading about a knight, who is reading about a frog .This isn’t an interactive show, but we always welcome vocal responses from young audiences, and you can join in by clapping along to the songs. But the publisher thought that would be too complicated, and Axel has done a great job making each book look different.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. From kings and queens to aliens and ghosts, there's something for everyone in Charlie's amazing book!Yoto Says: A dizzying adventure that immerses us in a book inside a book inside a book… all for the love of stories! The only difficult bit is the fact that the images contain text such as a leaflet or news paper article so it had to be explained that it wasn't part of the story. Further books illustrated by Axel include Room on the Broom, Stick Man, Zog and The Smeds and the Smoos – all of which have been made into much-loved animated films by Magic Light Pictures. Our shows for this age group have storylines that can be followed and enjoyed by 3-4-year olds, but may also use slightly more complex ideas, humour, dialogue or song lyrics that older children will get more out of.

The show features a dragon puppet who roars loudly and quite a big crocodile puppet, but these are both friendly characters.He has enjoyed particular success in his collaborations with Julia Donaldson, for which their many awards include the Smarties Gold Prize, the WH Smith Children's Book of the Year, the Blue Peter Best Book to Read Aloud and Children's Audio Book of the Year. There will be up to 70 people watching the show (sometimes more if you come when there are school groups).
