Why read it?

1 author picked The Cook and the King as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My son loves this book because it is "very, very funny." 

The story is about a cook who is afraid of everything and the king, who ends up doing all the cooking for him. 

It makes my son giggle, and I love reading it to him. The words are rhythmic, and my son likes it when I make up funny British accents for the characters. The illustrations are beautiful.
