Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-Another title to add to the flurry of books about the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II published during her Golden Jubilee year. In this brief biography, Malam offers snapshots of the woman from her childhood through her wedding to Prince Philip of Greece, to the birth of their four children and her coronation and long reign. Using language that new readers will readily understand, the author presents his subject as a kind, intelligent, and dedicated monarch. The book has a comfortable layout and includes many well-produced, captioned black-and-white and full-color photographs. An uncritical, accessible introduction.
