The King of Tiny Things

When two little girls visit their grandparents, it seems like a brilliant idea to camp outside for the night. But then the dark comes and it doesn't seem such a good idea after all! Until a most unexpected visitor arrives - the King of Tiny Things. He is the shepherd of creepy crawlies, bugs and grubs and shows the girls that, in fact, the night is bright with magic.

From the creators of The Bog Baby, winner of the Booktrust Early Years Award 2008.

Reviews

The slapstick comedy [is] wittily handled

—— on The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog , Sunday Times

One of today's greatest storytellers

—— The Bookseller

There is often something of the traditional storyteller about Michael Morpurgo. As a reader, we feel part of an audience, spell-bound by the unfolding tale . . . one of the most confident and accomplished writers for children today

—— Scotsman

Michael Morpurgo is a master of the first person narrative: when he embarks on a story he doesn't keep you waiting - he simply grips your hand and helps you on board

—— Telling Tales

With his wonderful illustrations and charming characters, Chris Wormell honors everyone who has had to be brave and quick thinking under difficult circumstances

—— Through the Looking Glass

A winner of a book . . . that makes its case ingeniously and will delight readers of every age
