My baby brother chose this as one of his favourite books to read for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and he loves this book (as well as Where’s Mrs T-Rex by the same author/illustrator).
This title is a good choice for toddlers and babies. It is a strong board book with bold illustrations of cute characters that you might expect to spot in London – a bus driver, policeman, soldier, the Queen and her corgi.
It has soft felt flaps for baby to look behind as they search for ‘Mrs Queen’. The felt flaps are a good idea for little ones because they are soft to touch but also quite strong and don’t tear like traditional cardboard flaps. On the last page is a hidden mirror so that baby can see themselves too! Little brother who is three and baby both like to play hide and seek with the characters and will always laugh at themselves in the mirror!

The book's cover features the Queen and the Queen's Guard, which can be a little misleading, since there are no other characters associated with the royal residence; the book is set in London. The backgrounds and flet flaps are designed to fit the theme; they include the iconic London taxi, the double-deck bus, and the red post box. Overall, this book is better than "Where's the King?". However, adding 'Mr' and 'Mrs.' to the characters seems too stereotypical and unnecessary.

Travel to England and find ... a police officer, bus driver, soldier, and the queen.
The final page asks to find yourself and you lift the flannel flap to find you in a mirror.
Reviewed from a library copy.

A really good book. The felt flaps are sturdy and will withstand a lot of usage from little hands. I particularly like how interactive this book is, my little one likes lifting the flaps and loves seeing his reflection in the mirror at the back of the book.
5 stars.

Oh this is a favorite at my house. Because we have a horse, a bus with wheels, and a dog. What more does a child want!
