The fearless knight at the start of this story is off to battle a terrifying dragon, but when he arrives at the dragon's cave, he discovers his fearsome foe has gone on holiday! A passerby points him in the direction of an extraordinary shop selling "wigs, wands, characters plots and more". Once inside, the knight embarks on a variety of adventures, facing challenging terrains, battling terrible beasties, and making new friends.
The One-Stop Story Shop had us laughing out loud from start to finish. The plot was unexpected and kept us guessing from page to page. It was an immediate hit at bedtime and we've read it many times since.
This picture book is so much fun to read aloud, with lots of potential for silly voices imitating cinema trailer voiceovers when a new story is introduced. It's a book you can't help but perform.
The artwork is bright and fun too, with so much to look at on every page.
The One-Stop Story Shop is written by Tracey Corderoy and illustrated by Tony Neal
