Her other books include The Hospital Dog illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, The Christmas Pine illustrated by Victoria Sandøy and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures illustrated by Lydia Monks. They have brought many of my books to life on stage, and they do so creatively whilst remaining faithful to the books. As in the book, there is also a ghost carrying her head, who appears in the show with ‘haunted house’ sound effects, but she then puts her head back on, settles down to read a book and doesn’t seem scary anymore.This edition features the classic story with a stunning, redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small! There will be up to 70 people watching the show (sometimes more if you come when there are school groups).

The show features a dragon puppet who roars loudly and quite a big crocodile puppet, but these are both friendly characters. There are rows with chairs and soft blocks facing the stage, and some mats on the floor at the front. Charlie Cook's Favourite Book is both entertaining and original - a sure-fire winner from the unparalleled picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. The audience stay in their seats while watching, but you can leave and re-enter the auditorium at any time. But the publisher thought that would be too complicated, and Axel has done a great job making each book look different.There are eleven different books in this story, and my first idea was to have eleven different illustrators – one for each book-within-a-book!
