WINNER of The Golden Wizard Book Prize 2023WINNER of The Golden Wizard Book Prize 2023! "Writing birthday telegrams - the Queen's favourite time of day. Bringing joy to all who opened them, both near and far away ... " But wait! Oh no! Queen Liz has missed her oldest friend Nessie's birthday! A royal invitation to come to the palace is quickly sent - and the chef needs help choosing the menu. But what does a queen give a monster for tea? And what astonishing secret has Nessie been hiding all this time? A 'wonderful, heartwarming' tale of the day the Loch Ness Monster met the Queen.

"Everything that makes the perfect read aloud story. The story is full of humour, there's some lovely traditional nods to Scotland and a fun 'reveal' at the end which would delight children (and adults!) of a range of ages ... The illustrations are beautiful, they portray the humorous side of the story well and the detail is astonishingly good" -- Goodreads reviewer
