Charlie Cook's Favourite Book Review

There are lots of reading jokes in this book within a book, within a book: pirates and robbers settle down with their favourite stories and the Three Bears discover Goldilocks reading their favourite book (after having eaten their porridge, of course). It's all written in bubbly rhyming verse matched with vigorous illustrations which make extensive play of the central joke.
