The Queen & Mr Brown

James Francis Wilkins

Picture books for 5 to 8-year-old children.

The crazy adventures of the Queen of England and Mr Brown the corgi. The Queen has a secret passion – natural history. She and Mr Brown befriend the animals who live in London’s Natural History Museum. They travel in Conkerdor, the animals’ space transporter in the form a giant conker, to meet quirky members of the animal world.

Striking illustrations. Delightfully silly humour. They are great to read aloud and excellent as early readers. Every story around 1500 words.

Published in association with Natural History Museum, London
