The imminent arrival of the Duke and Duchess’ bundle of joy is generating much excitement in many corners.
Not surprising that the energy has created a slew of wonderful picture books.
You’ll soon see why Shhh! Don’t Wake the Royal Baby! made it on to My Book Corner …
Babies cry. Fact.

The golden dummy. A private jet. I think you get the picture!
Love, love, love Martha’s Mumford’s sense of humour as she pens a warm tale about struggling to encourage a baby to sleep. Problem is that the Royal Palace has its own set of rather unusual distractions and noises …

With Mumford’s decision to repeat a key line, she has created a wonderful picture book that renders itself perfectly to being read out loud.
Shhh! Don’t Wake the Royal Baby! is rendered utterly charming by Ada Grey’s energetic and vibrant illustrations.
