The Queen and Mr Brown visit their animal friends in the Natural History Museum for another mystery tour. This time their destination is the bottom of the ocean. Beneath the waves they meet an enormous blue whale, a piglet squid and a very sociable octopus. But nothing can prepare them for what is waiting for them on bottom, the dreaded anglerfish—the ugliest fish in the sea! Strikingly illustrated and humorously told, this story is great to read aloud and for older children to read on their own.

A delightful tale of two close friends and their eventful day at the museum with the dinosaurs, with lots of facts about how dinosaurs lived and why they all disappearedJoin Britain's much-admired monarch on one of her rare days off, as she and her loveable pet corgi Mr. Brown enjoy an action packed adventure at the Natural History Museum. On a gray, gloomy, and unbearably miserable day, the two friends go in search of dinosaurs. Armed with snacks, they encounter immense skeletons, huge teeth, and a thigh bone as big as the Queen. There are aliens from outer space and some smelly dinosaur dung too! After so much exploring it is no surprise when they both fall asleep—which is when the real excitement begins. Find out what really happened to the dinosaurs all those years ago, what the Queen is doing on top of a Megalosaurus, and who wins a famous victory.

During one of their regular rendezvous at the Natural History Museum, the Queen and Mr Brown are transported to the strange and wonderful world of some infamous inhabitants of the London underworld—the rats! With a talking toucan and a streetwise polar bear as their guides, they are whisked through a tunnel under the Museum and launched into an extraordinary mystery tour which reveals some foul furniture, a funny smelling feast, and a spectacular rat cabaret. Beautifully illustrated and affectionately told, this is a charming tale of two best friends with a taste for adventure who love to learn about the animal kingdom.
