They are a staple at our house. Easy to read. Illustrator creates a beautiful world. I enjoy that they rhyme, also makes it easy for my child to have memorized most of them. There is a cute short film series on Amazon prime to follow a number of her stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A whole library in a single book *by 2***Y on January 20, 2006* I don't think there's a better writer of children's books out there today than Julia Donaldson. Her books are perfect for reading aloud to a toddler: just the right length to keep the attention of reader and listener, great rhymes, and clever stories. This new book is no exception, and is worthy of a spot on your child's bookshelf alongside "The Gruffalo" and "The Snail & The Whale." This book is the literary equivalent of holding up a mirror while you're looking in a mirror: there are layers of stories within stories. Little Charlie Cook likes a particular book, the characters in his book like another book, the characters in that book like another book, etc., so that every page (whimsically numbered in a non-consecutive fashion) basically takes you into another book. The overall effect is like browsing through a whole children's library in a single book: you get a pirate story, an animal story, a knight/dragon story, an alien story, etc. I won't give away the ending, but suffice it to say it's clever like all of Julia Donaldson's endings. Bottom line: this book should appeal mightily to all the little budding bookworms out there, and to their big bookworm parents. ## Frequently Bought Together - Charlie Cook's Favorite Book - The Spiffiest Giant in Town - The Snail and the Whale --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8958840-charlie-cooks-favorite-book](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8958840-charlie-cooks-favorite-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
