Book Overview
The Cook and the King is a picture book about an unlikely friendship, a fun and hilarious romp from bestselling team, author Julia Donaldson and illustrator David Roberts. The king searches his kingdom far and wide for the perfect cook. He's very particular, and none of the cooks can get the job done just right. Until the king meets Wobbly Bob. The king thinks Wobbly Bob might be the perfect fit, but there's just one small hitch--Wobbly Bob is afraid of everything. He's afraid that he'll nick himself with the sharp kitchen knives, and he's afraid he'll get dirt from the vegetable garden on his new apron. Wobbly Bob needs a companion to help him feel brave, so the king himself tags along every step of the way. "Donaldson's thumping lines scan as confidently as ever, while expressive characters painted by Roberts transmit emotion with great versatility, from fear to absorption to embarrassed relief. The image of a king in glad collaboration offers a gentle vision of how to rule." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
