Rollerblading Royals
Russell Ayto
Fed up with their luxurious royal life-style, King Clements, who likes dressing up, and Queen Clementina, a roller-blade fanatic, decide to join a circus – as you do! Meanwhile, Kevin, King of Clowns, no longer enjoys any job satisfaction and Ricky, the circus Rollerblading Queen, has sore feet. Surprise, surprise; they swap places with the eccentric royals in a comic variation of Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper.
Larger than usual print and a generous smattering of funny line drawings of various sizes comprising 50% of the book, make this a user-friendly story for children who are just embarking on the independent reading road. Plenty of laughs, a simple but satisfying plot and an inevitable happy ending.
