The day after tomorrow it is Kings Day in Holland. We read a funny picture book to the mini-monsters, by Julia Donaldson and David Roberts. A book in rhyme that tells the story of King Schrokkerdebrok, a difficult eater, a gourmand.
He is looking for a cook, but not just any cook, he wants the best cook! A long line of chefs come to the palace to have the King taste their most delicious dishes, but nothing the King tastes is good enough.
Then there remains 1 cook (you) with a small, shy squeaky voice. He has not cooked anything because he is afraid of everything, sharp knives and hot fire for example. Not very handy for a cook, but still Wobbly Bob (that's his name) really wants the become the King's Cook. Will he succeed?
