Story Box Library | There's No Such Book. There's No Such Book is a funny and heartwarming that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the frenzy of Book Week.It's the night before the Book Week parade and Ellie announces that she needs a costume by the morning. Mum, who is taken by surprise, desperately tries to piece together a costume from what’s lying around the house …They went into the bathroom.

‘Hmm,’ said Mum. ‘Don’t I remember once reading you a book about a monster whose skin looked like it was made of bright green towels?’ ‘No,’ said Ellie. ‘There is no such book.’Ellie heads to bed only with Mum's promise that she’ll have a costume sorted by the morning. Mum stays true to her word, but perhaps not in the way that Ellie was hoping. Written by Jessica Dettman, illustrated by Jake A Minton and read by Librarian Storyteller of the Year Award winner 2022, Lindsay Evergreen.
