Why read it?

Between Julia Donaldson’s inimitable rhyming style and Axel Scheffler’s ebullient drawings, this book has become a modern classic, and with good reason. It has everything to appeal to an imaginative 3-year-old like mine: knights, castles, flying dragons, and the recognisable, daily frustration of trying to win adult approval.

My son has actually learnt a lot about storytelling from this book and regularly uses phrases he’s picked up here to construct stories of his own. Fun for both adults and children, this book is a clear winner in our house.
