Ever wondered what the Queen Mother has been doing since she died? In this delightful children's book, comedian and TV presenter Harry Hill tells the story of the people she's come down from heaven to sort out.
Silliness bursts from every page. Hill's illustrations are basic, but ooze charm, and will make children and adults laugh as much as the words do.
Everyone loves nonsense (and if they don't, the Queen Mum will come down from heaven and tell them why they should love it). It's nonsense of the highest calibre from start to finish, and will become an immediate favourite of anyone who reads it.
Although the book briefly touches on some potentially thorny issues (violence, drugs, reincarnation), the silliness in which they're presented means they're actually handled perfectly, and are completely appropriate for children of any age.
Highly recommended.
Thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Harry Hill's Colossal Compendium by Harry Hill]].
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly]] by [[:Category:Simms Taback|Simms Taback]].
