Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Jubilee Celebration (History's Great Leaders)

I bought this for my granddaughters as it seems the mean Welsh Assembly Government are not giving these to schoolchildren. They absolutely love it. Great stuff!

It’s a lovely informative book about Queen Elizabeth 2nd for children to have as a Momento. Love the drawing in it to. Easy to understand too.

A celebration of the reign of Queen Elizabeth 11.What a fantastic souvenir of an important moment in history Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Celebration is. Equally relevant to homes or classrooms there’s so much to explore, with history, geography, stories, facts, places to visit, a glossary, sport, music, charities, the Queen’s own words and so much more. I must confess I didn’t know the National Anthem beyond the first verse until I read this book!Although Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Celebration is a book to relish and treasure in its own right, because it’s such an interesting read, it really is a wonderful catalyst to inspire and engage young people. I think using it in a KS2 school setting it would be perfect. I can imagine the map of the Commonwealth Countries being used for classes to create a map of the world including their own cultural heritages, or the section on innovation inspiring research and science based projects. Even the snippet about succession could lead to discussion about the role of girls and females in society. However, what I think is most important about Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Celebration is that, through Great Granny Joyce sharing her treasure box with Isabella, there is a sense of belonging and community that the world needs. I think it says something about the intention behind the book that no one person is singled out as author or illustrator but that the book has been complied by a team.Before finishing my review, I have to comment on the super physical qualities of Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Celebration. It’s beautifully presented with illustrations that appeal to readers of all ages and that illustrate diversity from the young to the elderly, from the able bodied to those with disabilities and with people of all colours so that it feels inclusive and respectful of all.Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Celebration would be a fantastic keepsake for children born during the jubilee year as well as those already old enough to enjoy it. I thought it was excellent.

Mt daughter and I shared this book together and both really enjoyed it. This book is full of facts and information as well as beautiful illustrations. This book makes an amazing keepsake for children to keep and hand down to future generations within their family. I can see this book being a great resource for school work and homework in the future. The book includes a fun quiz poster, the Queens family tree, a timeline, facts and events, the people who the Queen has recognised for doing amazing things and so much more. We are both so grateful for the kindness of the school in gifting us this beautiful book!.

Extremely dull, a little bit woke and a waste of £12 million to the taxpayer.At a time when many UK children are living in poverty and schools cannot even afford exercise books, Just send them the money instead.

Kids got this free from school, charity shopped it. Terrible, kids not interested at all.

Bought as a keepsake for my grandchildren. Beautiful book which can be appreciated over and over again.

The illustrators and writers made this book what it is and to not name them was an appalling decision, was the queen afraid of sharing her spotlight I wonder? entitlement at its worst
