You Can't Eat a Princess!

Readers will enjoy this story about a Royal Family with food-related first names, a penchant for chocolate, and a Royal Guard too interested in hair, teddies and knitting to search for the missing King! 

Throw in plucky Princess Spaghetti and a handful of royalty-eating aliens, and you have a delightfully quirky picture book.

McIntyre's distinctive humorous illustrations greatly add to the story, and the creative use of typeface and size of text emphasise the journey and the comic elements of Princess Spaghetti's quest.

The way in which the Princess commands the aliens to release her father will be particularly attractive to small children, who are used to being on the receiving end of similar demands from adults!
