Reviews
"I adore this book - I am sure it is about to become a firm favourite with my grandchildren, in fact I think it is already! A wonderful, heartwarming, rhyming story about our lovely Queen and the Loch Ness Monster. I thought Nessie's secret was fabulous and the illustrations on that page enure that my grandchildren fall into laughter each time we reach that part. The illustrations are beautiful and incredibly detailed, and perfectly match the story. I feel every household should have a copy of this little treasure." -- Kraftireader FIVE STARS
