No Queen Today

This week we read Jill Eggleton's book, No Queen Today. The Queen in this story is tired of having everything done for her. She wants to wear regular clothes, cook her own food, and weed the palace gardens.

Leilani and Alfred wrote a letter to the Queen to try and persuade her to keep being the Queen.

Do you think their letter will convince her?


Dear Queen

We think you should stay being Queen. You should stay the same because we love you being our Queen and you are a very special woman.

We think you should let your gardeners do their jobs. You should stay inside warm and dry and not with mud in between your stubby toes or in your fingernails. Otherwise people will be fed up when you say, "Oh! I broke a nail... FIXXX IT!!!!"

We think you should not cook your own meals in the kitchen. Let your chefs cook your meals instead. You can have breakfast in bed whenever you want to.

We think you should wear your lovely Queen clothes because you look beautiful in them. You should relax while your maid digs out your clothes for you.

That is why we want you to enjoy being Queen. Even when you die you will still be our wonderful and caring Queen!

From Leilani and Alfred
