About this deal

The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. 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.

A show aimed at two-year olds would have some differences – those shows are carefully made to hold their attention for the duration, and not to be unsettling for them. 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. 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. There are eleven different books in this story, and my first idea was to have eleven different illustrators – one for each book-within-a-book!As in the book, there is also a ghost carrying her head, who appears in the show with ‘haunted house’ sound effects, but she then puts her head back on, settles down to read a book and doesn’t seem scary anymore. 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). Her other books include The Hospital Dog illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, The Christmas Pine illustrated by Victoria Sandøy and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures illustrated by Lydia Monks. 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 will be up to 70 people watching the show (sometimes more if you come when there are school groups). She was the UK Children’s Laureate 2011–13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature. 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.There are rows with chairs and soft blocks facing the stage, and some mats on the floor at the front.

This edition features the classic story with a stunning, redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small!But the publisher thought that would be too complicated, and Axel has done a great job making each book look different. Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which together have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over one hundred languages. The show features a dragon puppet who roars loudly and quite a big crocodile puppet, but these are both friendly characters. All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book was not specially designed for under-threes. This was the last book In the Julia Donaldson series I brought my grandson , they love them and are so well illustrated … as is this one .

The audience stay in their seats while watching, but you can leave and re-enter the auditorium at any time. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Axel Scheffler has achieved worldwide acclaim for his humorous illustrations, which are published in over 30 countries. In addition to the modern classic, THE GRUFFALO (0 333 71093 2), her most recent collaborations with Axel Scheffler include THE SNAIL AND THE WHALE (0 333 98224 X) and THE GRUFFALO'S CHILD (1 405 02046 6). 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. Yoto Says: A dizzying adventure that immerses us in a book inside a book inside a book… all for the love of stories!
