Why read it?

My son loves this book because it is "very, very funny."
The story is about a cook who is afraid of everything and the king, who ends up doing all the cooking for him.
It makes my son giggle, and I love reading it to him. The words are rhythmic, and my son likes it when I make up funny British accents for the characters. The illustrations are beautiful.
