We've teamed up with Quarto Publishing to bring you resources based on the Little People, Big Dreams series. 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 . I’m still not used to King Charles. He was Prince Charles for so long. And I know this series is for children, but Camilla was never his “friend”. Diana did not go through what she did for this slander. The photos are wonderful, perhaps some of the best of this series, the story is informative and the timeline ties it all together.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.”

Received for review: I received an advanced copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not obligated to write a good review, nor did I receive any compensation for writing this review. As usual, this Little People, BIG DREAMS book covers the life of King Charles from his childhood to his life today. I was curious how it was going to handle the Princess Diana/Camilla situation, and it did so by saying sadly he and Diana had little in common and divorced, at which time he later married Camilla, his "closest friend for thirty-five years". 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! The day he got married, millions of people worldwide watched the ceremony on television. Lady Diana, his bride, looked like a fairy-tale princess.” 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.I haven't got the highest opinion of the monarchy, and I think this book definitely sugarcoats some things, but overall it was interesting.

As the government’s national archive for England, Wales and the United Kingdom, The National Archives hold over 1,000 years of the nation’s records for everyone to discover and use. I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Nevertheless, it is a wonderful series for children, which I highly recommend. All stories are accompanied by delightful illustrations. (Ages: 3-7) 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. When Charles married Camilla, his closest friend for thirty-five years, they bought a farm in Wales, far from any palace. There, he planted trees, talked to his plants, and ate organic food, inspiring others to live in harmony with nature, too.”

After King Charles’ April publication, a Glasgow bookshop boycotted the Little People, Big Dreams series. Actor Samuel West tweeted “Kids, you too can be a King if you work hard enough. Adding this title to the Little People, Big Dreams stable certainly puts the achievements of Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai in perspective.” 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.
