SPOILER ALERT: Life is grand with a best friend by your side。 THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN celebrates the constant companionship of Elizabeth of York—the future Queen Elizabeth II—and her corgi pup， Susan。 This true-to-life picture book follows the duo from Elizabeth’s eighteenth birthday， when she wished for and received Susan as a gift， through the lonely days of World War II， and on to the royal wedding （is that a stowaway in the carriage？） and life at Buckingham Palace。 Treat-filled stockings at SPOILER ALERT: Life is grand with a best friend by your side。 THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN celebrates the constant companionship of Elizabeth of York—the future Queen Elizabeth II—and her corgi pup， Susan。 This true-to-life picture book follows the duo from Elizabeth’s eighteenth birthday， when she wished for and received Susan as a gift， through the lonely days of World War II， and on to the royal wedding （is that a stowaway in the carriage？） and life at Buckingham Palace。 Treat-filled stockings at Christmas！ Gourmet meals！ Heartfelt and gorgeous illustrations portray daily rituals and the feisty Susan getting into all manner of doggy trouble。 Fun for fans of pups， princesses， and royal history。 And don’t miss the closing pages that chronicle Susan’s descendants。 A dynasty of corgis rules！ 。。。more

What a delightful story about Queen Elizabeth and her special relationship with her dogs！ Caroline Perry has found the perfect hook through which children can learn about this iconic figure and her role as the monarch of a nation， and also relate to her as a person， through her love for her corgis。 Lydia Corry’s illustrations perfectly complement the prim and proper Queen that we know while also revealing her vulnerable moments with her beloved Susan。 I learned so much reading this book， and I t What a delightful story about Queen Elizabeth and her special relationship with her dogs！ Caroline Perry has found the perfect hook through which children can learn about this iconic figure and her role as the monarch of a nation， and also relate to her as a person， through her love for her corgis。 Lydia Corry’s illustrations perfectly complement the prim and proper Queen that we know while also revealing her vulnerable moments with her beloved Susan。 I learned so much reading this book， and I thought I knew everything about the British royals！ I especially loved the corgi family tree provided in the back matter- adorable。 A great addition to any non-fiction collection。 。。。more

Caroline L。 Perry did a magnificent job hooking children in this picture book biography by speaking directly to their hearts。 The Corgi and the Queen is infused with raw emotion readers can connect to as it chronicles moments between Queen Elizabeth and her corgi companions。 Despite all the fame， this book speaks of something deeper; that of the love between a dog and its owner。 It becomes even more poignant in the wake of the Queen's recent passing， yet Perry words and Lydia Corry's whimsical i Caroline L。 Perry did a magnificent job hooking children in this picture book biography by speaking directly to their hearts。 The Corgi and the Queen is infused with raw emotion readers can connect to as it chronicles moments between Queen Elizabeth and her corgi companions。 Despite all the fame， this book speaks of something deeper; that of the love between a dog and its owner。 It becomes even more poignant in the wake of the Queen's recent passing， yet Perry words and Lydia Corry's whimsical illustrations make us feel comforted and hopeful。This is an honest review for a digital ARC I received。 。。。more

Reviewing this book the week that the Queen passed away is bittersweet。 It makes me sad that she didn't read this book- she would've been thrilled to have held a book that speaks of her struggles behind the brave face she put on-- losing her papa at 25 and becoming Queen。 I learnt so much of her will power and her love for her first corgi- Susan， that was gifted to her on her 18th birthday。 The illustrations are super sweet and the backmatter is so so wonderful。 A family tree of the Queen of Eng Reviewing this book the week that the Queen passed away is bittersweet。 It makes me sad that she didn't read this book- she would've been thrilled to have held a book that speaks of her struggles behind the brave face she put on-- losing her papa at 25 and becoming Queen。 I learnt so much of her will power and her love for her first corgi- Susan， that was gifted to her on her 18th birthday。 The illustrations are super sweet and the backmatter is so so wonderful。 A family tree of the Queen of England and one of her corgis， too！This review is based on an ARC provided by the publisher。 。。。more

Fascinating look at the life of Queen Elizabeth and her beloved dog， Susan！ Such a clever way to educate kids about this historical figure -- though the kid-friendly and compelling lens of her relationship with her pet。 There are plenty of interesting facts and details， but it reads like an engaging narrative。 The colorful illustrations are detailed and bring each scene to life。 I highly recommend THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN。 It will be excellent for reading in schools and at home with children of a Fascinating look at the life of Queen Elizabeth and her beloved dog， Susan！ Such a clever way to educate kids about this historical figure -- though the kid-friendly and compelling lens of her relationship with her pet。 There are plenty of interesting facts and details， but it reads like an engaging narrative。 The colorful illustrations are detailed and bring each scene to life。 I highly recommend THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN。 It will be excellent for reading in schools and at home with children of all ages。 ***I accessed an advanced reader's edition from the author。 。。。more

A touching story about the special bond between a young woman （who just happened to be a future queen） and a dog （Susan， the corgi） who kept her company and soothed her soul throughout years of war and loneliness。。。。and then Susan's many descendants who stuck by the Queen's side for the next 70 years。 I also learned so much about the Queen of England， humanizing her in the process。 Imagine the future queen being a car mechanic during the war！ Amazing that she had the will to do this， and a fathe A touching story about the special bond between a young woman （who just happened to be a future queen） and a dog （Susan， the corgi） who kept her company and soothed her soul throughout years of war and loneliness。。。。and then Susan's many descendants who stuck by the Queen's side for the next 70 years。 I also learned so much about the Queen of England， humanizing her in the process。 Imagine the future queen being a car mechanic during the war！ Amazing that she had the will to do this， and a father who gave in to her pleas。 She was definitely a special person， one who was as loyal to her country as her corgis were to her。 I love that the back matter includes a family tree for the queen and for Susan and her offspring。 A brilliant addition！ Kids are going to love this book！ This review is based on a PDF ARC provided by the publisher。 。。。more

What a wonderful book！ The story of Queen Elizabeth and her first Corgi， Susan is especially poignant as so many are mourning the queens recent passing。 I know if she had lived to see this book， she would love it。 There are so many ways to tell the story of a famous person。 But how do you tell one that will hook a young reader？ Caroline Perry's choice of telling us the story of Susan and how she impacted a young princess then queen's life is the perfect device。 Perry's words and Lydia Corry's be What a wonderful book！ The story of Queen Elizabeth and her first Corgi， Susan is especially poignant as so many are mourning the queens recent passing。 I know if she had lived to see this book， she would love it。 There are so many ways to tell the story of a famous person。 But how do you tell one that will hook a young reader？ Caroline Perry's choice of telling us the story of Susan and how she impacted a young princess then queen's life is the perfect device。 Perry's words and Lydia Corry's beautiful illustrations join for an all-around lovely book。 I highly recommend THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN！ 。。。more

In the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death， THE CORGI AND THE QUEEN takes on extra resonance。 It’s a beautiful story about the beloved queen’s friendship with her corgi Susan and how Susan helped shape the leader she became。 Animal-loving kids and Anglophiles of all ages will love Caroline L。 Perry’s lively text and Lydia’s Corry’s beautifully emotive illustrations （adults may notice a Kate Spade-esque vibe to the art）。 I accessed a digital ARC from the author。
