«Charlie Cook's Favourite Book» is the children's picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children's Books in paperback (32 pages, in English).
Charlie Cook is reading his favorite book, which in turn tells the story of a pirate who reads about a girl who reads about a knight, and so on: a chain tale with stories within stories. With illustrations by Axel Scheffler, the book parades through adventures of pirates, kings, queens, aliens and ghosts, celebrating the love of reading with humor and rhyme.
This edition is a Big Book, designed for shared reading in the classroom and presented in paperback with 32 full-color pages.
Recommended for early readers, read-aloud and storytelling in class; its extra-large format makes it easy to see the illustrations in a group.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
