The King Who Didn't Like Snow
King Mark is a higgledy-piggledy king who gets into a pickle every day. “Do something, Bert!” he shouts, and Wizard Bert, with his sidekick, Broderick the bookworm, always saves the day. When snow falls on Windy Hill Castle, everyone is delighted – except for King Mark! King Mark doesn’t like snow and starts to sulk. Will Bert and Broderick save the day again? Will King Mark walk into trouble? Do the children of Windy Hill Village have the answer...? The King Who Didn't Like Snow is a magical and humorous tale written by UK children's author Jocelyn Porter and illustrated by Michael S Kane, AKA Shaky Kane, the legendary comic book artist.

I read The King That Didn’t Like Snow to my son as it has a lot of “hard” words and has learning disabilities, however, that did not stop him from enjoying the colourful illustrations and the fun story.
We thought King Mark was a bit grouchy, especially when he said he didn’t like snow, who doesn’t like snow? It is great fun! We liked the name of the village, the wizard and the bookworm too. They were fun memorable names and they have certainly stayed in my son’s head since reading it.
Thankfully the ending of the book made us change our minds about King Mark, perhaps he is not as grouchy as we first thought.
