Charlie Cook's Favourite Book
18 Nov–04 Feb 2024
A Little Angel Theatre, Lowry and Rose Theatre co-production
A musical adaptation of the best-selling book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
Aimed at ages 3-8
Charlie loves reading. Especially books about pirates. But his sister hates it – it’s boring! Can Charlie convince her that reading is fun? Perhaps if she read a book about a pirate, who is reading a book about Goldilocks, who is reading a book about a knight…
Come and delve into a range of books with Charlie Cook, brought to life with puppetry and enchanting songs, and perhaps you will be able to help his sister discover the wonderful world inside a book…
