The Emperor of Absurdia

Beautiful illustrations as always from Chris Riddell. My (beloved) primary school teacher hated the ‘it was all a dream trope’ and while I’m sure she would forgive this in a picture book, it still makes me feel dissatisfied. It’s a huge gentle story though and I love Chris’s pudgy little people.

Its was good

It was weird.

I really loved this book. The boy/Emperor had a great dream. Would definitely recommend this book.

It was fun reading it.

Bit strange but funny

I liked this because it seemed like it was a bear hunt but it was a dragon

This book is very weird! The fishes fly and there is umbrella trees. But is only a dream.

I liked the Wardrobe Monster!!
It was rather funny.

I thought this was a good book and I loved the artwork and vibrant colours.
The story was about an emperor who wanted to find the wardrobe monster's golden scarf and his adventure to find it. Whilst on his mission, he met a funny green dragon who chased him. He found it eventually on a pointy tree. The emperor liked his meals. It was a bit confusing.
My favourite character was The Wardrobe Monster.
I would recommend this book to my friends.

This book is very silly. We love to read a silly book.

The story was okay.
Would not recommend the book to my friends.

I did not find this book interesting, it was a bit boring.

I really liked the illustrations

I thought it was a little scary as I thought the dragon was going to eat the Emperor of Absurdia.

I gave this 2/5 because I like the dragon in it but I don't like like the pictures because they scare me a bit. It does have a happy ending which I like. I wouldn't recommend this book.

if you like stories that repeat a lot of already said words this is a good book for you

Very good and exciting and I liked the umbrella trees. I liked the Dragon the best because he was very funny and I liked the pictures.
I would recommend this book to my friend.

OK. Not my favourite

He had the most extraordinary dream.

Great book

The best bit was when the dragon came a chased the baby who was so brave!

It was good because there were monsters and they were good.

if you dream hard enough your imagination will run wild

I liked it because he met a dragon and all sorts of characters in his dreams

it is good because i like it when the dragon comes.

This is a good book easy to read with adventures

this book is about a boy who has adventures in his dream.

Loved the pictures

This is a funny book to read. It is about a boy who has a dream about a dragon.
