I would recommend this book because I liked that the Queen was it in and there was a boy named Fred who became the King.

Baby Prince Frederick had a lazy nanny who lost him. Mrs Cook found him but the baby couldn’t talk, so she took him home. The king and the queen were so worried. As Fred grew, Mrs Cook taught him to cook. Mrs Cook looked after the boy very well. One day, she read the news about the king and the lost baby. So she took him back to the palace and explained to the Queen. Fred tried to be good in the palace. But everything was different. So the Queen made the book to instruct him how to be a king. He was going to be a king soon. He needed to get married and expected to have a baby. He had triplets daughters. But they didn’t remember the order, so they didn’t know who will be the Queen in the future. Then they would have a cake test to see who can be the Queen. People like Princess Hazel’s cake. She is a good queen.she makes everyone happy. After the retirement, Fred enjoyed baking and Queen Gwen helped to eat the cakes.

I would ask others to read this book as everyone should know that whenever we are looking after anyone we cannot go to sleep. and everything which is been learned is always remembered.
