Synopsis
What kind of world is it where children are in charge and fishes swim the skies?
Where dinner comes before lunch, but then lunch hatches and runs off to fetch its—uh-oh—big, bad mama?
But that's nothing compared to what the Emperor discovers when he wakes up the next morning!
From a two-time winner of the most prestigious picture-book award in Britain comes an adventure in which the extraordinary is ordinary and nothing is ever quite what it seems.
