'Queens have two birthdays, one on the day they are born on and one on the day that it would have been more convenient for them to have been born on. It is the convenient one that counts.'
The Queen is not a happy little Queen. It's her unofficial birthday and no one has bought her a present. Not the Prime Minister, not the Treasurer, and not even her lazy Ladies-in-Waiting.
All she wants is one small, one very cheap present. Just because it has four legs and a tail, and isn't very easy to wrap up. That shouldn't put anyone off . . .
Illustrated by Hilda Offen and winner of the Smarties Prize. A short, accessible novel for more confident readers.
