{Review} This Royal Baby

We’ve all been a little excited by the arrival of Prince George this week. I thought the rolling 24 hours news coverage was a little over the top and I hope the new family will now be left alone to enjoy those lovely first days together.

I doubt we’ll buy any souvenirs to commemorate the Royal baby but we were very happy to receive a copy of This Royal Baby, by Zita Newcome, to review.

Perfect for your little prince or princess! This royal baby wears a crown — but it giggles, cries and plays just like every other baby too! Every page in this big, bright book shows a different baby: sleepy, silly and sad, in bed, bath or highchair, doing all the things that babies do, and finishing with what they all love the most — a cuddle with mummy. 

With bold, appealing illustrations and simple, sturdy mechanisms on every page, this is an ideal way to introduce all babies — royal or otherwise! — to first expressions and feelings. Both my children enjoyed this book. The illustrations are lovely and the tabs are very strong, indeed seemingly toddler-proof. It’s great for learning new words and feelings and a very regal read!
