Description
It's the Queen's birthday and she decides that she wants an orang-utan butler!
Quick Summary
David Walliams has a real gift for taking something completely ridiculous and making it feel perfectly normal, and this book is a perfect example. The Queen of England wants an orang-utan butler, and when her wish comes true, hijinks naturally ensue. Kids who love humor and absurdity will get a kick out of the funny illustrations and the sheer silliness of a prim and proper royal trying to manage a wild ape at Buckingham Palace. It's short enough for early readers but has enough personality to work as a read-aloud for younger kids too. There's nothing scary here just gentle comedy and a sweet message underneath all the laughs. If your kid enjoys Roald Dahl or books like "The Bad Guys," they'll probably like this one too. It's a quick, fun pick for kids who want something light and goofy.
