A book within a book within a book... Rhymes take the reader through various tales all starting with Charlie Cook's favorite book.
A good book to discuss book pages - illustrations, title headers, page numbers, etc.

This is the first Julia Donaldson book that I was disappointed with. Each page skips to a new book that the character on the previous page is reading, therefore you never really get to know the characters the way you do with her other books. Also it's too old for the younger age range, I'd say best for 4-5+, my almost 3 year old wasn't interested.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleOh my gosh, this is such a creative idea of a book. While the book doesn't tell a fluid story, it is still very entertaining nevertheless. It is basically if Inception was a children's picture book. I love Julia Donaldson's books. They are always sure to delight.Axel Scheffler did the illustrations for this book and I loved all of the possible references to the other books, such as the owl and squirrel from The Gruffalo and the frog from Room on the Broom. Some of these may be coincidences or just the way Scheffler draws various creatures, but it is still fun for children to point out the similarities. As always, the illustrations are very fun and detailed.A great book that is very unique and entertaining.

A fun celebration of books and readers written in verse.

This story is written poetically which is good for children and helps the book to flow well. The theme of being about favourite books could lead to activities around the children’s favourite books and recommending them to each other.

This is one of my personal favorites. How can you not like a book about books? Funny, cute, clever and quite the little adventure.

A circuitous romp through the favorite books of a cast of characters. Such fun!
