This book made me laugh out loud... Giles Andreae is a master of humorous rhyme (adults... remember Purple Ronnie cards?)
The thing that makes King Colin special is the fact that he has golden underpants, but when these beloved underpants are stolen, King Colin is thrown into a frenzy of disarray.
"I'm lost without my underpants,
My underpants of gold.
And besides, it's rather draughty
And my bottom's getting cold."
He sends for his bravest knight, and up steps Sir Scallywag (who is 6) to save the day. He rides off to find the undies, but to no avail, and Sir Scallywag fears for his life...
"Disaster!" cried Sir Scallywag.
"What will King Colin do?
He'll probably chop my head off
And then flush it down the loo."
Will the undies be recovered? Will Sir Scallywag keep his head? Read this book and find out...
The fabulous rhyme is accompanied by gorgeously cheeky illustrations by Korky Paul (of Winnie the Witch fame.)
