The Enormous Chocolate Pudding

A grumpy king and his household cope with the problem of a large chocolate pudding spoiling their view of the landscape. No one can think of a way of removing it until the court jester reaches the logical conclusion... and manages to get the king to think it was his idea. A fine picnic is organised and the chocolate pudding gets eaten up.

I have to admit to not being overwhelmingly attracted to this book on the first reading but it improved second time round. There's a lot of detail in the pictures and plenty to laugh about too, especially in the picnic picture. Probably for the 5+ age group and older for reading themselves.
