The Queen & Mr. Brown A Day for Dinosaurs

Published in England, The Queen & Mr. Brown, refers to Queen Elizabeth and her Corgi, Mr. Brown.  On a bad weather day, the Queen decides to walk to the Museum of Natural History to spend the day.  Mr. Brown isn’t so happy to go out into the weather.  At the museum, there is a dinosaur display which they find interesting.  The illustrations in this book are reminiscent of the Madeline series.  Information about a few dinosaurs, such as bone length, are given, as well as the cause of their extinction.  The Queen falls asleep on a bench and has a funny dream, then awakens and walks home with Mr. Brown.  A gentle story that appeals to young listeners.
