This is the second collection of seven stories featuring a king whose favourite occupation is eating, so much so that the only thing that fits him is his scruffy T-shirt. But that's not the only embarrassing situation he inds himself in. Under-7s will enjoy hearing about the likes of King Poshnosh, Queen Slenderella, Fierce Dragon (a vegetarian) and Princess Uptotrix. Young fluent readers will revel in the humour, too.
