The Blurb On The Back:
For years, the king and queen have longed for a child. At last their wish is granted, in the form of a little wooden robot and an enchanted log princess. There’s just one catch: every night, the princess turns back into a log.
When the princess is mistaken for an ordinary log, her brother sets out to save her - and their adventure begins.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Tom Gauld’s picture book is one that’s destined to be a future classic. Charming, intelligent, full of wit, whimsy and warmth there’s plenty of jokes in there for both young and older readers (in my view, probably better for youngsters aged 5+). There’s plenty of potential here for a sequel, which I would definitely want to check out.
