A brilliantly witty picture book from rising star Jill Lewis and best-selling illustrator Deborah Allwright about a fairy tale gone wrong. The King is about to star in a brand new story but - wait a minute! What's this? The story has disappeared! You'd better go and do something else instead ...What? You're still here? Well, then you'll see the King frantically galloping through Storyland to piece together the fragments of his story, with some very unlikely interventions (and help) and some familiar faces doing some very unfamiliar things. And look out for the pea. He's the real star of this show! Jill Lewis's bold and innovative story makes for a fantastic read aloud book to share with the whole family, while Deborah Allwright (illustrator of The Night Pirates) provides the hilarious and intricate artwork to bring this picture book to life.
