The queen’s coming to town!
Milly, Molly and friends help the Mayor spruce up their town for the regal visit. They sweep leaves, trim hedges, polish the brass, pick up litter and paint doors.
When the Queen arrives, she’s very impressed with the spotless town and invites the children to have lunch too!
Like most Milly and Molly stories, this book has a message – ‘diligence, care and perseverance in carrying out a task.’
Excerpt
“Right,” said the Mayor. “We must have our town looking spotless, with not a leaf out of place.”
Harry was given a spade and a wheelbarrow. It was his job to tidy all the edges. Poppy was given a dustpan and brush. She was asked to sweep the council steps.
