Postscript to Queen's Jubilee

On Monday we put out our display of books that celebrate Queen Elizabeth and this afternoon as we were about to leave I had a quick look at the display ...not much left. We had scrummaged around and added things that I had long forgotten about and they too had gone. Quite a few of the students had watched the concert and seen the Queen having tea with Paddington, so they were keen to borrow Paddington books! When they had gone others went too.

Books we added:

• Paddington at the Palace  by Michael Bond and R.W.Alley

• Horrid Henry Meets the Queen by Francesca Simon and Tony Ross

                                                                                           

• Me, the Queen and Christopher  by Giles Andreae and Tony Ross

• Don't Chew the Royal Shoe!  by Kate Leake

• Judy Moody and the Right Royal Tea Party by Megan McDonald and Peter Reynolds

In this quarto-sized  book of beautiful dog photos  there is a photo of a corgi wearing a crown and it was such a good centrepiece for the display. Wish I'd taken a photo of it before all the books disappeared.

• Eyes on Dogs  by Maggie Fischer

Then we just added any book that featured London, Buckingham Palace, London buses, taxis, beefeaters and guards and there were so many. Nearly every series visits London...Maisy, Charlie and Lola, Topsy and Tim, Katie, Madeleine...
