Finding The Nitch The B.Also illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser:įancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words: From Accessories to Zanyīy Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, illustrated by Robin Preiss GlasserĪlthough I reject the theory that celebrities and public figures have the ability to write children’s books basely solely on their status, Sarah Ferguson’s new children’s book has forced me to reconsider my position.Creative State of Mind A Blog by Tricia Drammeh.Using the Game Upwards with Young Children.New Video on Catherine of Aragon’s Childhood.We All Fall Down by Eric Walters- Book Review.I was deeply pleased with this book and would recommend it to any parent or grandparent who loves to play Princess or tea with a child. Glasser has created a fascinating set of illustrations. Little girls will love studying the formal costumes.
Ruby tries on several gowns in preparation for her visit but her imagined outfits and surroundings are pure delightful fantasy. The illustrations are extensively detailed. The tarts were with delicious but my favorite thing was just being with you! I love you, Ruby.” This exchange is better than 100 visits with the actual Queen. On the last page is a note reading, “ Dear Grandma, Thank you so much for inviting me to tea.
Children are delighted that Ruby’s grandmother has gone to so much trouble and they are sharing this special, memorable moment together. You might think that the reader would be disappointed to find out that Ruby will be having tea with a member of the family instead of royalty but this isn’t so. On the yellow and green shuttered house is a banner reading Welcome to Tea at the Palace! “My princess!” responds a woman in a semi formal dress draped with costume jewelry and a tiny fake crown. Her parents drive her to a beautiful floral-lined path. Ruby wears her prettiest dress, a tiara, and carries a bouquet of flowers. The tension builds and builds until finally the day arrives. In spite of this relentless barrage of advice, Ruby excitedly shares her invitation with everyone she sees, the letter carrier, the soccer coach, the dance instructor, and more. “I hope you won’t interrupt when you have tea with the Queen.” “I hope you won’t shout when you have tea with the Queen.” This is reinforced when everyone she meets gives her advice on how to behave. So we are cleverly seduced into thinking Ruby is actually having Queen with her Royal Majesty Elizabeth II. If anyone has had experience drinking tea with the Queen, Sarah Ferguson would be one of them.
