A certain future classic, and without a doubt my absolute new favourite picture book. * LiteraryLoves *
This has become a wonderful series - so clever, yet so simple and very funny... A wonderful book, full of humour and such fun to read and to share * Parents In Touch *
The Queen's Present is a delightful addition to The Queen Collection, and a suitably warm and fun Christmas read * My Book Corner *

I absolutely adored this book... perfectly executed with style and grace... captures London perfectly. This is a story for all generations and a brilliant, British book to boot. It's almost beyond words... every British household needs a copy, whether or not you're George's, William's or Charles's generation. * * * * * * Bookbag *
A treat for winter reading * The Bookbag *
All carefully drawn in a muted palate of festive red, green and white, the illustrations are mind-boggling -- rows upon rows of tiny green elves line the Sydney Opera House -- and the ending is a timely reminder that love, not consumerism, is the true meaning of Christmas * Belfast Telegraph *
An awesome adventure. A wonderful romp of a read that's a great introduction to London, royalty and all that makes Britain great. * The Sun *
Hilarious... chuckles aplenty with every turn of the page... wonderful illustrations... if this debut is anything to go by, Steve Antony's creative talent is one to follow with interest. * * * * * Books for Keeps *

A festive tale about the Queen's quest to find the perfect presents for her great-grandchildren. Stunning to look at and lots of fun * Scottish Daily Express *

A magical tour of the world's most famous landmarks * Eastern Daily Press *
As in the book's predecessors, The Queen's Hat and The Queen's Handbag, her majesty is followed by an entourage of tiny loyal subjects, this time green-clad elves, creating a visually striking picture book using only the red and green colours of Christmas * Evening Echo (Cork) *
