Comments:
This is a cute book. I’ve never really had to deal with
people trying to shorten my name, but I deal constantly with people calling me
“Becky” instead of “Carrie” (?) and people totally flubbing my last names. The
only person who consistently gets it right is my mother. That’s right, not even
my husband does. So I can kind of relate to poor little Elizabeth.
I don’t know if a lot of little kids will identify to this,
but I’m not sure that’s how/why little kids build connections with books
anyway. It was funny and charming. The pictures are adorable in a retro sort of
way. And Elizabeth is feisty in an Olivia sort
of way. (I heart Olivia.)
Plus, she has a pet duck. You’ve gotta love that!
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Sure.Elizabeth the Queen
