I am a huge fan of the books in this series, and I was waiting for this book to be released.

My daughter really enjoyed the book in Queen Elizabeth II and I hoped that there would be a book on King Charles III and she was delighted that we received a copy of this one and that she was able to read it.

It covers his younger life and relationship with his grandma, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, his marriage with Diana and then latterly with Camilla.

The illustrations are great and bring his story to life. It is 5 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended and another fabulous addition to this series.

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

As I said previously I would love to have this collection when I was a little girl.
It's a interesting way to teach kids about important people in history.

A beautiful little series for young minds that explores different public and historical figures that can teach children. We had one on the Queen we absolutely loved do it will be quite nice to add to the collection as well if not a bit surreal.

Another great title in the Little People, Big Dreams series! My kids loved learning about King Charles and the different causes he has championed through his long-standing royal career. I highly recommend this series for any young biography lovers!

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for gifting my family with an ARC to review. We enjoyed it!

So sweet! I love this series for kids and now it’s surreal to see King Charles! I loved the one for the Queen. Such a sweet series for kids!

My wife and I finally made our trip across the pond last year and learned a bit more about British royalty. Last year, the Queen passed and King Charles is now King. If you want to know a bit more about the man, this children's book will help. This entire series of books for young people is a delightful series and is a quick and fun introduction to today's historical personalities. We all wish the King our best, and this book gave me some additional introduction to King Charles.

Thank you, NetGalley for this advance copy of King Charles in exchange for my honest review.

I really wish the Little People, BIG DREAMS series was around when I was little!
I thought Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara did a wonderful job with this book.
It's factual but sensitive at the same time. The illustrations are absolutely perfect.

A lovely addition to this already successfull series !

From the design to the drawings to the narration, everything is set for the little ones to understand who the new King of the United Kingdom is.

Such a great read. I am a Diana fan through and through but this book definitely made me understand King Charles more. He is an interesting subject and my kids and I really enjoyed reading about him in an interesting way that kept all of us entertained.

I wasn’t sure how the author could sum up Charles’ life in only 18 pages and without controversy, but she did a very nice job. This is a great starter book for young ones to become acquainted with the new king. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the early read.

I read this book to my five year old daughter. We LOVE the Little People, BIG DREAMS series and this one was one that we really liked. She really liked the illustrations and learning about Queen Elizabeth II's son and successor.

I love the ‚little people, big dreams‘ books, and this one hasn’t disappointed! I loved the illustrations the most, even though there was nothing negativ to be said about the text - it was quick and informative - but the drawings where just amazing!

What a fantastic addition to this series - King Charles!

This book allows us to peek behind the scenes and see what life was like for King Charles when he was a little boy. Children will learn that he is the longest-serving heir in British history - he became heir to the throne when he was three years old! When the Queen died last year, her oldest son, the 73-year-old grandpa added a new title to his name; one he’d been working on honouring for 70 years. This lover of nature, a keen devotee of environmental activism and a staunch supporter of creating a sustainable future is now known as King Charles III.

The photos are wonderful, perhaps some of the best of this series, the story is informative and the timeline ties it all together.

This would make a great coronation present!

I was gifted this copy by Quarto Publishing Group, Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
