February 2019 Debut of the Month | A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month February 2019
What better present can a princess receive than a pudding making machine! Soon puddings and cakes of all sorts are spilling out of the machine as the young Princess Hannah takes control of her fabulous birthday present. But the present has an unfortunate impact on the princess; it reveals that she has never had to share. Luckily, her friends take matters into their own hands and soon they too are pulling the levels and turning the wheels and together they all make the most fabulous puddingly treats – including a giant meringue. The moral is well mixed into this bubbly tale which is vibrantly told in verse by Sally Duran.
Polite and perfect Princess Hannah has been so well behaved that the King and Queen have decided to get her a very special birthday present: The Marvellous Magical Pudding Machine!
How can she possibly be expected to share such a wonderful thing with her friends? Discover the fanciful and vivid picture book that gives hope that even those with the sweetest tooth might learn to share...
This wonderfully sweet debut from Sally Doran, lavishly illustrated by Rachael Saunders, teaches the importance of sharing through rhymes.
Sally Doran grew up in Pembrokeshire and studied journalism and theatre before embarking on a career as a children's author, inspired by her sister who is also a writer. She now lives in a little cottage in the South West of England. Boom, Bang, Royal Meringue is her debut book, in part inspired by her love of meringues - her second favourite food after avocados!
