Library's review

This delightful picture book recounts the true story of how Queen Victoria was able to go swimming in the ocean at a time when it was considered indelicate for her to be seen in a bathing suit. The lively verse and charming illustrations (and authentic photo) add to the fun. Author’s Note, List
