The Queen & Mr Brown: A Day for Dinosaurs

Publisher: The Natural History Museum

This picture book will make younger readers chuckle as the Queen and her corgi take a trip to London's Natural History Museum and ponder about what really made the dinosaurs die out.

The Queen drew back the curtains and looked out. 'Mr Brown, it's snowing!' she called. He padded to the window and propped his paws against the sill . . . 'I think we'll visit the dinosaurs today!'.

And so begins the delightful tale of The Queen and Mr Brown. Armed with sandwiches and biscuits they encounter immense skeletons, huge teeth and a thigh bone as big as the Queen. There are aliens from outer space, an epic dinosaur race and some smelly dung too! As the engaging and uplifting story unfolds, readers will also learn some key facts about dinosaurs and the world in which they lived. Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Queen and Mr Brown is great to read aloud and is also highly suited to encourage children to read on their own.
