Summary from Scholastic
Can’t wait for a certain date in April? Feed your royal passion with
this funny rhyme. Are you, like us, going nuts about all things royal
this spring? The smaller and cuter the better? Then this is the book for
you. You’ll love the jolly pictures. There’s a mischievous little
prince in the royal household. But it’s probably not the one you’re
thinking of. It’s Chips the Corgi: a dog so cheeky even the Queen can’t
boss him around. He’s always chewing Her Majesty’s shoes. But will he
end up becoming a hero? Laugh till your crown topples off
Nayu's thoughts
It's
not just the way the characters look like the current British royal
family which makes this book such fun to read. It's the way that
despite being in a royal household, Chips is like any other dog
addicted to chewing a certain item, in this case a shoe. It was funny
seeing everyone from the queen to the footmen sporting only one shoe,
and the lengths the entire palace went to saving the other shoes.
Like with every characteristic there was eventually a positive side
to Chips' shoe obsession which helped save the day. Even though it
was a predictable plot it was fun to see it unravel, especially with
there being lots to look at in the colourful and detailed
illustrations.
