I downloaded a free copy of this children's storybook some time ago, and as the end of the #20booksofsummer20 challenge is fast approaching, I thought now would be a good time to slot in a couple of children's books, to help me reach my 20 target.
The blurb:
The Queen's Cat (First Year at The Palace)When Queen Beatrice visits the royal family of Norway, she receives a lovely surprise gift, a cute fluffy kitten. She names the kitten Albert and brings him home to live in the palace.
As Albert grows up he gets into all kinds of trouble.
Albert has many friends at the palace, including Isabelle the Chambermaid, Gerard the Butler, Angus the Chauffeur, Norman the Grenadier Guard, Princess Sophie, Prince Nicholas and his best friend Sergeant Major, the Magpie.
Albert travels to lots of lovely places with the Queen, meets lots of nice people and some not so nice.
If Albert does not like you, then watch out. His favourite trick is rubbing his paws on the carpet and giving you a nasty electric shock, which can be painful.
Albert loves to roll in smelly horse poo and it’s usually left to Isabelle to bath him before the Queen finds out. Life is good at the palace and Albert makes the most of his position as The Queen’s Cat.
In this story Albert wonders if the Queen has remembered his first anniversary at the royal palace and he also meets an unfriendly dog.

My thoughts:
The Queen's Cat is the first in the series of stories about a mischievous cat called Albert who lives with a Queen in a royal palace.In this tale, Albert is expecting a party in his honour, celebrating his first year living in the palace. He is disappointed when he sees King Frederik of Sweden and his dog Oscar arriving at the palace to visit the Queen.
Oscar is sent to play with Albert. Cats and dogs do not make the best friends, and soon Albert has enlisted his friend Sergeant Major the magpie to help get rid of the dog.
The Queen's Cat will appeal to younger children who will be amused by Albert's naughtiness, and delighted with the charming illustrations that accompany the story.
