![]() My princess obsessed daughter doesn't believe they actually exist. ![]() I showed her a picture of Queen Elizabeth II. And I blurted out something like, "the pictures are wrong!" I gleefully explained (or tried) who the author was and how her two daughters are in fact princess and have a queen for a grandmother. See Harriet asked how it was the grandmother could possibly be a queen. Now the grandmother in the book is drawn like any generic grandmother but it was on this page that things clicked into place. Tea with the Queen ends up being tea with her grandmother. Her family reminds her of her manners and she practices so she'll be ready. Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and Robin Preiss Glasser know a thing or two about the importance of manners and poise and being ladylike.
