The Jelly Castle

In a glittering kingdom, Princess Jelly lives in a castle built completely from jelly, where the walls wobble, the towers wiggle and the stairs jiggle like a cheerful pudding. With strawberry-pink pigtails and a tiny silver crown, she adores bouncing and giggling, though every dance sends shivers through her wobbly home. When she plans a royal dance and invites the whole kingdom, her excitement grows faster than her caution.

Guests soon arrive in colourful clothes: Sir Wobble the royal guard, Berry the Bunny with his green bow tie and tiny measuring tape, and Grandma Gooseberry the royal cook, who brings shimmering jelly desserts and a gentle warning to mind the wobble. As the music plays and everyone hops and twirls, the castle sways, a jelly drip falls from the ceiling and the guests grow worried. Princess Jelly wants the fun to continue but does not want the castle to break. This picture-book tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows her search for a solution, showing how a clever idea, teamwork and a little measuring and building can keep everyone safe without spoiling the celebration.
