All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book was not specially designed for under-threes. Charlie Cook is reading a book about a pirate captain, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading about a knight, who is reading about a frog .

The audience stay in their seats while watching, but you can leave and re-enter the auditorium at any time. There will be up to 70 people watching the show (sometimes more if you come when there are school groups).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! Further books illustrated by Axel include Room on the Broom, Stick Man, Zog and The Smeds and the Smoos – all of which have been made into much-loved animated films by Magic Light Pictures. This isn’t an interactive show, but we always welcome vocal responses from young audiences, and you can join in by clapping along to the songs. They will provide a linguistic and artistic interpretation of the show for people who are D/deaf or for whom BSL is their preferred language.

Charlie Cook is reading a book about a pirate captain, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading about a knight, who is reading about a frog. This play is based on the original book Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book -Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. I wanted all the books to look very different - in different styles - but in the end there wasn't enough time to work that out (may be I would have failed anyway).This was the last book In the Julia Donaldson series I brought my grandson , they love them and are so well illustrated … as is this one .

There is nothing really scary in these shows but they can be a bit more dramatic than those for the youngest children, including in their use of sound and lighting, and characters may face some perils. The only difficult bit is the fact that the images contain text such as a leaflet or news paper article so it had to be explained that it wasn't part of the story.

They have brought many of my books to life on stage, and they do so creatively whilst remaining faithful to the books.
