Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom. Thanks to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for the copy for review from which I’ve shared a few illustrations. (I like this artist better than some of the others. 😊) The book seems to also make Charles out to be the misunderstood fellow by showcasing him as a neglected child for his whole childhood since his parents aren't by him as a child, his grandmother is the only one in sight before school and then even when he finally made it to school he was still alone even though it was "practical". And then the book showcases him as finally hitting his more mature years where he slowly starts to find himself and what that self means. Dus nu heb ik een King Charles boek in huis. En wat voor één!? Super leuk en mooi én boeiend. Echt, ik ben bijna (bijna) fan van Charles Phillip Arthur George geworden. Ik leerde dat hij zich inzet voor het milieu, biologisch eet en dat hij op zijn eenentwintigste al een toespraak hield in verband met de opwarming van de aarde. Allemaal dingen die me nauw aan het hart liggen. Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job to do . As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom .

Nevertheless, it is a wonderful series for children, which I highly recommend. All stories are accompanied by delightful illustrations. (Ages: 3-7) It explains how Charles has always loved nature and cared about the environment. He worried about the effect of pollution on our planet and became a climate campaigner. The illustrator does a wonderful job of capturing the look of Charles. He adds greatly to the book’s appeal. The coronation news has been everywhere and children in particular will have many questions about what it is and what will happen,” said Hazel Maxwell, Waterstones children’s buyer. “Books are a great way to talk to children about the event, while keeping young readers engaged and entertained.” In this volume it is the turn of King Charles III: from his birth in 1948 through to the present day as he embarks upon the role that was always designated to him as the first-born of the future Queen Elizabeth II. The author focuses a great deal upon Charles’ love of nature and his commitment to the environment. As I spent a number of years working in this field I was well aware of his tireless work in these fields.I really liked Matt Hunt’s art. He utilised quite a cool, pastel palette and some of the images were very reminiscent of classic British pastoral artwork with an emphasis on nature. There are a lot of different dreams in that picture, and he has founded and supported countless charities since then. Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom.

Charles recognized that plastics and pollutants were causing harm to Earth, and as the Prince of Wales, he spent all his efforts championing climate justice and sustainability . Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare , which broke records as the fastest-selling nonfiction book on its January release, has slipped to 117th in the charts, having sold 1,862 copies last week.

Engage children with digital learning

The text is factual. The young reader learns that Charles and Diana have nothing in common, so they have divorced. Camilla has been his closest friend for thirty-five years. The author mentioned the infamous school years in Scotland as well. We learn that Philip was practical, but Charles felt alone in a Scottish school far from home. We already have a few other titles from the Little People, BIG DREAMS series on our bookshelves at home so we were happy to add this new book about the life of King Charles, in time for his coronation! Eerlijk is eerlijk: ik ben ‘team Harry’. Een boek over King Charles staat dan ook niet op mijn wishlist, dacht ik. Want toen verscheen er een deeltje over Charles in de Little People reeks en aangezien ik alle deeltjes al heb mocht ook dit niet ontbreken.
