Mr. Cook’s Books is a playful, humorous picture book about a school cook who loves reading so much that his stories begin to spill into the kitchen. As Mr. Cook gets lost in his books, unexpected, funny situations unfold — to the delight of the children and the mild frustration of the school principal. The story is written in light, rhythmic rhymes that keep the mood cheerful and energetic.
The illustrations reflect this joyful tone: they are colourful, lively, and full of gentle mischief. Through expressive characters — the cook, the children, and the principal — the artwork blends the adult world of responsibility with the imaginative world of kids. The pictures support the poems beautifully, capturing both the humour and the playful chaos that the story brings to life.
