The Royal Nappy

Author: Nicholas Allan

Following the huge success of The Queen’s Knickers, here comes Allan with another peek into life in Royal households. Oh, the importance of the Royal nanny, over the centuries! Since the time of Henry VIII, she has been responsible for the Royal Nappy chronicles… and she always has to be well-prepared, with the right nappy for the right occasion, be it a garden party or a visit to Great Grandma’s house down the road! Wearing an extra shiny nappy, the Royal baby can shoot across the palace floor, ‘WHEEEEEEEE!’ There’s a nappy for when babe is feeling poorly, and one designed just for riding in Daddy’s helicopter, when the ‘Poo-Detector on-board’ nappy comes in handy, ejector, parachute and all! There’s a charming Royal nappy song, set to the tune of Greensleeves… (sadly the page is decorated with completely nonsensical musical notes, which many a child will spot.) This has been personalised for my own grand daughter and I suspect personalisations of this song will be heard up and down the land, as this picture book is discovered! There is much to discuss in all Allan’s pictures, and the simple text will tempt many young readers.
