Book Synopsis

Welcome to the Café at the Edge of the Woods, the utterly charming and mesmerising new picture book from BAFTA award-winning writer Mikey Please.

Rene’s dreams have finally come true! She’s opened a café beside an enchanted wood, and with the help of a newfound waiter, Glumfoot, she is ready to serve the finest cuisine! But the locals seem to favour a most peculiar palette, requesting all sorts of disgusting things.

Can Glumfoot’s quick-thinking save the day?

Join Rene and Glumfoot in this incredible other-worldly story full of magical humour, mythical creatures and culinary curiosities.

Our Review Panel says...

A quirky and fun story full of mythical creatures and funny, cafe-based shenanigans.

The Illustrations and quirky characters of the book are definitely what draw children to the story. Children love the idea of disgusting recipes and escalating mishaps. I really enjoyed the way the two characters worked together to find a solution that fits both the morals of the cafe owner and the demands of the customer.

A ‘read-it-again’ choice for many children in Year 1 and beyond. It would be a great stimulus to get young children writing recipes for their own menu at the Cafe at the Edge of the Woods.
