The Viking Who Liked Icing
A delicious rhyming story of a Viking boy who loves to bake and the impending Sports’ Day that could prove his undoing?
Nut isn't like the other vikings; he doesn't climb hills or swim icy lakes ... but he does have one great passion - Nut LOVES to bake cakes! So when Viking Sports' Day comes round, it looks like certain disaster for Nut. Can his baking SAVE THE DAY?
Told in effortless verse, The Viking Who Liked Icing is a hilarious, heartwarming picture book about being yourself.
'A beautiful book about self-acceptance and following your dreams. If only there was a Viking Bake Off, Nut would surely take the crown! A story that will warm the heart of the reader as much as the child you're reading to.' David Atherton, The Great British Bake Off Winner 2019
'A winner with my grandson, and I liked it too!' Prue Leith
