Found a book weirdly floating around my Kindle and since I am trying to clean up all my books I chose to tackle it as a quick read.
All the Queen's Crowns starts off rather strangely as it mentions the king chose to have a party while he wanted everyone to dress like him in purple hair and platform shoes before the next page takes us into the actual story where he actually weds his queen while making a marital vow to her that every day he will prove his love with a crown. This bit of weird exchange kind of did trip me up a bit while I feel that it may have been much safer to leave out the first episode even if it just may have been a means to prove that this king doesn't quite think in the box like others.
Anyway Queen Evelyn seems to be a very humble and wise woman who is the perfect opposite of her husband. She tries to protest that he doesn't have to be extravagant with his gift nor prove his love but he just doesn't listen. And as each day passes the crowns start to become more and more of a problem as the king seeks to find even more interesting crowns than the ones that came before.
The writing is rather very simple and quick to read thus would make for a great story, especially if you are trying to explain to young readers what love is and how they may be able to express it. Furthermore all the illustrations are brightly colored, the characters very realistic and even the secondary characters add to the story indirectly with their responses to the various baubles that the queen deals with in her love of her husband.
And finally there is a note about the dog included in the story as it is a memorial to the author's whose dog passed away before the publication of the story. I just loved that sweet sentiment was added while the dog also makes for a great character in her own right.
All in all it was a rather sweet story with lots of good small messages for those who may want a discussion about them or just as a fun entertaining read before bed.

Grandma Alert: teach a great lesson to your grandchildren
All the Queen’s Crowns is a gentle reminder that “real love” doesn’t need lots of gifts. Simple gestures mean much more than precious jewels, and the queen displays that lesson lovingly in this story. The author has delivered a beautifully illustrated book with a fabulous message for all, young and old.

Cute story
Really cute story about a queen who kept getting more crowns. Will she be able to convince her husband that she doesn’t need things to make her love him?

love the story
What a wonderful way to explain love is not about things. I really enjoyed the story and the illustrations were great fun to look at. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great children’s story.
