The joy of this books is in the detail... each stylish spread contains lots to look and laugh at. Beautifully depicts our traditions and our relationship with the Royal Family... brilliant.

A magical tour of the world's most famous landmarks
My Book Corner
The Queen's Present is a delightful addition to The Queen Collection, and a suitably warm and fun Christmas read
The Scotsman
A red and green triumph by Steve Antony...Full of elves, reindeer and quirky details to spot The Queen's Present is a welcome and worthy addition to this picture book series.
Belfast Telegraph
All carefully drawn in a muted palate of festive red, green and white, the illustrations are mind-boggling -- rows upon rows of tiny green elves line the Sydney Opera House -- and the ending is a timely reminder that love, not consumerism, is the true meaning of Christmas
Chronicle Live.co.uk
A witty and stylish celebration of the Queen and the world's best known landmarks
Bookbag
I absolutely adored this book... perfectly executed with style and grace... captures London perfectly. This is a story for all generations and a brilliant, British book to boot. It's almost beyond words... every British household needs a copy, whether or not you're George's, William's or Charles's generation. * * * * *
Scottish Daily Express
A festive tale about the Queen's quest to find the perfect presents for her great-grandchildren. Stunning to look at and lots of fun
Evening Echo (Cork)
As in the book's predecessors, The Queen's Hat and The Queen's Handbag, her majesty is followed by an entourage of tiny loyal subjects, this time green-clad elves, creating a visually striking picture book using only the red and green colours of Christmas
The Sun
An awesome adventure. A wonderful romp of a read that's a great introduction to London, royalty and all that makes Britain great.
