The King's Pants: A children’s picture book to celebrate King Charles III's 75th birthday

Product Information

We have a huge campaign planned to make sure this is the book to celebrate the Coronation with children all around the UK and the Commonwealth, a fitting celebration of our new King! It could also be a splendid addition to a school library at this significant moment in British history. A word of warning though: this book could be a ’marmite’ book – not to everyone’s taste, or sense of humour. Somehow, with a coronation imminent, it feels appropriate that King Charles III should be celebrated with another such book and, thanks to Nicholas Allan and Andersen Press, we now have The King’s Pants.
