CHARLIE COOK’S FAVOURITE BOOK

Based on the original book Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book – written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler

Charlie loves reading.  Especially books about pirates.  But his sister hates it – it’s boring!  Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun?  Perhaps if she read a book about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight…

Come and delve into a range of books with Charlie Cook, brought to life with puppetry and enchanting songs, and perhaps you will be able to help his sister discover the wonderful world inside a book…

Young Authors Competition

Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book and Little Angel Theatre will be running a creative writing competition through the run of the tour where young authors can submit short stories, taking inspiration from exerts of the book.

They will be celebrating entries throughout the year, with winners receiving a book token and selected stories will be published in an anthology at the end of the year.

From November 2023, we will be releasing a video each month from characters in the show reading excerpts from the book as inspirational and giving more details about the competition and how to enter. These will be released on the Charlie Cook website and social media sites.
