Today we read The Birthday Crown, by writer Davide Cali and illustrator Kate Slater. Your birthday is a very special day, but being the Queen of the United Kingdom makes your birthday even more special. You need a beautiful dress but you also have to wear a beautiful crown.
Everyone in England would be honoured to make that crown for the Queen. The crown will come on television and everyone says: Who made this beautiful crown? Then you will be famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
The story is very funny and the collage illustrations are fun too. The queen is in for trying on everything, but her Birthday crown also needs to be practical. Which most are not. Lucky for her she has two lovely little helpers, who know exactly what looks the most beautiful on Gran ;))
