Anyway, the son of a Loyal Royal Knight is drafted-in to become the royal babysitter, and retrieve the kiss, but proves to be a bit flakey in the 'fearless' department, and their adventures begin, accompanied by jaunty music and songs by composer Ben Sutcliffe, with costumes crowned by Yasmin Baird. A harried king blows his son a Royal Kiss, but in the king's haste, the kiss misses the prince, rattles around the room, and flies out the window into the night. A blundering knight sets out into the wild wood to retrieve the kiss and return it to it's rightful owner. "Wild creatures with wild eyes, too much hair, and very bad manners lived there." Will the knight return with the kiss or will he be eaten by the dangerous creatures of the wild wood night?

It was also a wizard choice for this time of the year, with an open invitation to the audience to wear Hallowe'en fancy dress for their trip to the theatre, with many children doing just that, enhancing this fun production. Designers Marion Harrison and David Gibson's magnificent royal four poster bed, was the base for a lively tale that transformed it into the leafy Wild Wood - and a fearsome fire-breathing dragon, with long red tongue, purple wings and wide yellow eyes. A kiss so fugitive and elusive that it escapes but surprises all the inhabitants of the forest with its arrival. Very nice and very nice illustrations.

It's great for typical boys (knight, dragon) and typical girls (princess, kiss). It has a great moral that isn't in-your-face (in fact, the kids probably don't overtly get it, which is fine, since it's aimed at the parents too).

If I stopped to review all of them, I wouldn't have time to read any other books. Or go to work. Or wash. So I tend to review just my favourites, or his. This is one of his favourites. I like the fact that the king is not the common one. He dresses and acts differently, which makes children think about possible ways of expression and not the usual one. After that, I had to translate this book for class and I surely enjoyed it. I think it's a sweet story with an unexpected ending, since a kid would never think about it. If I had children on my own, I would defintely read this book before they went to bed. Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Old_pallet IA12264 Openlibrary_edition

Hain iheskorra eta harrapatzeko zaila den muxu batek ihes egiten duela baina bere etorrerarekin basoko biztanle guztiak harritzen ditu. Oso ilustrazio politak eta oso politak. Absolutely one of my favourite kids stories. Melling's illustrations are amazingly good, and this is a great story as well. Since this classic picturebook was published over 10 years ago, it has sold over 300,000 copies and become a favourite bedtime story for boys and girls everywhere. I credit this book with introducing wolves to my son as an imaginary nemesis. More than once Fin has walked into a room and gone "Oh no, wolves with dribbly mouths!" and fled, giggling to hide under a table. Getting a little one to read a lot does great things for their vocabulary and imaginative play, but there are moments where he seems quite, quite mad...

And it was a bedtime scene that began the tale, when the King blew a kiss that missed towards the end of the Prince's nose, which escaped into the night.

The characters of this story are fairly one-dimensional, but the story itself is what carries all the laughs and adventure that make it so entertaining. The illustrations are essential to the comedy and bring the story to life with vivid depictions of the characters' antics.
