Charlie Cook's Favourite Book
Synopsis
Based on the original book CHARLIE COOK’S FAVOURITE BOOK – written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
Charlie loves reading. Especially books about pirates. But his sister hates it – it’s boring! Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun? Perhaps if she read a book about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight…
Come and delve into a range of books with Charlie Cook, brought to life with puppetry and enchanting songs, and perhaps you will be able to help his sister discover the wonderful world inside a book…
