The King's Pants: A children’s picture book to celebrate King Charles III's 75th birthday

Product Information

Somehow, with a coronation imminent, it feels appropriate that King Charles III should be celebrated with another such book and, thanks to Nicholas Allan and Andersen Press, we now have The King’s Pants. This review was written by Prue Goodwin Have worked in literacy education since 1968 - class teacher, LEA advisor, Linc Project, University of Reading teaching (under grad, post grad and MA modules children's books in education). He has a pair for every occasion: coronation pants (he can’t be crowned without them), organic pants (edible in royal emergencies) and even inflatable space-pants (because one never knows when they might come in handy). But in a boxer-shorts blunder at the Royal Mail, the King's undies have been posted to his subjects nationwide! He is also the author of the book that was adapted into the BAFTA-winning television series for CiTV, Hilltop Hospital, broadcast in over 40 countries.
