The Year of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Interview with Christopher Where did the idea for this book at bedtime come from I have always loved reading the stories of the Tiger who came to tea to my own children and those in my care. I read the story one day early this year to a class of four year olds and it struck me what if it was another animal, person, creature, alien who came to tea who just dropped in . . . how we would feel. So my mind was buzzing and as I had seen on the TV and read about all the plans for the year 2012 for the Queens Jubilee I THOUGHT WOW . . . what if the most important and influential person in the UK was invited to tea; what if. How would I . . . what would happen . . . what changes . . . what repercussion . . . my pen started to fly across the page . . . What is this amazing story about Its about an ordinary little girl called Lillibet, a reluctant reader who out of the blue gets invited to meet the Queen of England in her own home; t tells of her adventure of making plans with her mum, paving the way at school with her classmates and all their questions . . . dealing with security . . . communicating to the Queen and her office . . . and a secret is revealed. Lillibet tries to remain calm and help her mum to get ready for the big day but will it all work out as planned. What about that naught cat next door could he upst the queens dogs and where should she put the queens horses!!!
