Toppsta - Childrens Books – Reviews

Heroine of the series is Her Majesty the Queen, an adorable old lady with a passion for natural history. She is an optimist who never gives up and is always polite. Her constant companion and friend is Mr Brown the corgi. The tales begin in Buckingham Palace and move on to London's Natural History Museum. The Queen and Mr Brown are good friends of the animals who live there. The animals have a space transporter in the form of a giant conker called Conkerdor. This takes them to outlandish destinations in the animal world where they meet some very quirky animals. At the end of every tale the Queen and Mr Brown return to the safety of the Palace. The tales are written for 5 to 8-year-old children and can be enjoyed by adults for their bizarre storylines and characters. They move between the real world of London and the fictional world of the animals. In the tradition of Dr Doolittle animals and humans are equal.
