King Charles (97) (Little People, BIG DREAMS)

Product Information

The mini-biography of Charles (complete with a timeline) at the end of the book is a great resource for young readers to cement the facts learned in the book, and offers advice on how to learn more about the new monarch. I really liked Matt Hunt’s art. He utilised quite a cool, pastel palette and some of the images were very reminiscent of classic British pastoral artwork with an emphasis on nature. These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.

The text is factual. The young reader learns that Charles and Diana have nothing in common, so they have divorced. Camilla has been his closest friend for thirty-five years. The author mentioned the infamous school years in Scotland as well. We learn that Philip was practical, but Charles felt alone in a Scottish school far from home.

The text is easy to understand for children and the illustrations are simple but lovely and convey a lot of personality. Little People, Big Dreams: King Charles. Illustraties: Matt Hunt.

King Charles is another great addition to the Little People Big Dreams series, and it is perfect to gift any child or classroom with the coronation nearly upon us. After King Charles’ April publication, a Glasgow bookshop boycotted the Little People, Big Dreams series. Actor Samuel West tweeted “Kids, you too can be a King if you work hard enough. Adding this title to the Little People, Big Dreams stable certainly puts the achievements of Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai in perspective.”

This story seems to be the briefest of all I’ve read in the series. I’ve read a few books in the series, and I don’t know if after a few of those reads they start to feel too brief or if they’re getting shorter in contest or the context itself in this story - a lot of everything - makes it feel this way. Welcome to the new home of Little People, Big Dreams, the best-selling biography series for kids by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara. I haven't got the highest opinion of the monarchy, and I think this book definitely sugarcoats some things, but overall it was interesting. Now with more than 8 million copies sold worldwide, the series continues to grow and expand, introducing children around the world to artists, trailblazers, and dreamers who each made a big impact in the world around them.

Eerlijk is eerlijk: ik ben ‘team Harry’. Een boek over King Charles staat dan ook niet op mijn wishlist, dacht ik. Want toen verscheen er een deeltje over Charles in de Little People reeks en aangezien ik alle deeltjes al heb mocht ook dit niet ontbreken. Sadly, Diana died one year after their divorce, leaving a deep hole in the hearts of their two sons, William and Harry, and of the whole world.” He enjoyed walks in the nature where he relished the freedom of being a young man. He didn’t have to worry about any title there or if people liked him or not. Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom. Charles was twenty-one when he gave his first speech defending the environment, long before global warming became a well-known issue.”I was kind of intrigued that they would come out with a book for King Charles already for children just since we haven't really seen King Charles but rather just Prince Charles thus that particular story is unraveling. And also as a result I feel the book is wrongly named and that it would be better overall to see him as the Prince since basically he has been such for seventy-three years while having made lots of changes thus proving that you don't have to be a king or worldwide leader to make those changes to occur. From the pealing bells of Westminster Abbey announcing the birth of Prince Charles to the death of his mother, Charles' has had a full life preparing to become king. And now he has, at age 73. Little Charles always knew that, one day, he would have a big job to do As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to inherit the throne of the United Kingdom . As a young man, he developed a passion for one cause; the environment. Charles recognised that plastics and pollutants were causing harm to Earth, and as the Prince of Wales, he spent all his efforts championing climate justice and sustainability.
