With limited text, the highlight of the book is its colorful photographs of living queens around the world with emphasis on Queen Elizabeth II. A queen’s responsibilities involve meeting with her people, give advice to leaders, work with charities, and wear pretty clothing. Interspersed amongst the text are bubbles with questions, i.e. “Why might a queen wear a crown?” I’d like to know the answer to that question! There are no source notes, but photo credits are listed. But this book is really all about the photos. Part of a series: Real-Life Kings, Real-Life Princesses, and Real-Life Princes, which are referred to in “Read More” in the back of the book . I would give all of them a pass.
