5/5 stars

Mouthwatering prose and brilliant illustrations. Good enough to eat! (0/0 people found this helpful)

WOW! This book is an absolute wonder, a mouthwateringly delicious longer-length picture book for 4+. It's beautifully written with incredibly vivid descriptive language and enticing vocabulary, a veritable hamper of brilliant simile and metaphor. The majority of these are food related: fluffy clouds like meringues, hair like a bread roll (Queen Nibble who is quiet as a mushroom) or a string of plump sausages (Queen Munch). Queen Munch who loves her food is lively, fun and colourful. Queen Nibbles is pale, like a ghost on a diet, has a special talent for making jewellery from the rain and is in need of a friend. Each Queen can learn from the other, and they become friends. The bright cheerful pictures reflect perfectly the 'foody' flavour of the text so Queen Munch's castle looks like a plump strawberry gateau and the trees are inhabited by colourful lollipop birds. If books were three dimensional, I would like to climb into this one!

Delightful (0/0 people found this helpful)

Having studied Carol Ann Duffy's poetry for A level, and consequently become thoroughly sick of her, I was very pleasantly surprised by this book.

It's a sweet and amusing story about friendship and embracing our differences; and the illustrations are superb. I would thoroughly recommend it.
