One of our all-time favourite bedtime reads is Taro Miura’s The Tiny King. We’ve been waiting excitedly for the follow-up to come out and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. The Big Princess (Walker Books, RRP £6.99) tells the tale of the diminutive king’s future spouse as a little girl. She is found by a childless king and queen in their garden, but all is not what it seems and she just keeps on growing, until her parents break the spell. The illustrations are just perfect and we always have to read it at least twice – generally the sign of a compelling story.
