The Queen's Knickers by Nicholas Allan
It's a busy year for the Queen - she has lots of important events to attend. Meanwhile, a little girl is wondering what knickers. Her Majesty will choose to wear on a school visit! Will they be her at home knickers - adorned with corgis - or her 'garden party' knickers, or perhaps her woolly Balmoral ones...?
The Queen is not a subject beyond humour; a welcome, gold-embossed reissue of Nicholas Allan's picture book The Queen's Knickers takes a cheerily irreverent look at royals -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
Humourous, entertaining and a little bit naughty, this classic has been revived with a eye-catching new cover for the Jubilee, the story inside is as brilliant as it has always been. . Pairing a tongue-in-cheek story of how the Queen chooses her undergarments, with charming and warming illustrations, creates a book to be loved by children of all ages * Book Keepers *
A jolly story . . . This one made my four-year-old son hoot with laughter -- Lorna Bradbury * Daily Telegraph *
This new edition will hopefully bring the book to a whole new audience of knicker-making monarchists * Independent *
This is a knockout . . . Affectionate, funny and entirely delightful * Books for Children *
