I missed out downloading this but I bought it instead. This was a super cute story! Anything with dogs catches my interest and this was no exception. I'd love to read another!

I've read a few 'animal POV' books, but I just could not warm to his one and admit to skip reading it after the first few chapters just to get to the end. Perhaps I was the wrong age (not a teenager) to read this, but this was not for me in the end. If the characters don't feel right, it will upset the rest of the book and that's what happened here with both the human and corgi's etc.

It was a very cute novel but it just kind of felt like it was just fluff. I don't know what to say other than that. It was just a cute little book

Warning: This book is adorable and Henry, The Queen’s Corgi will leave you wanting more! Henry is a Corgi that lives with his loving family. One day they all go on a family trip to London for the day. Everybody is loving the tourist attractions even Henry, but he also has his eye on those pesky pigeons too! Henry runs off to chase a pigeon (come on, he couldn’t resist!) but ends up putting himself into an unusual situation. Is this just a garden that he has adventured into? Or could this be.. the gardens of Buckingham Palace?
I really enjoyed this story, it was fast-paced, kept me really interested and left me wanting to read more about Henry and the Walker family! You get to follow Henry on his many adventures throughout the Palace, seeing him helping out people but what about the Walker family? Are they looking for him? Will he ever return home, or will he become a Palace Corgi? You’ll have to find out in Henry, The Queen’s Corgi!
I would highly recommend this book to so many people, I really loved this! A really fun story, full of christmas spirit and adventure. Give me more!

This felt excessively fluffy. I am sure it's great for the target audience and for people fighting seasonal affective disorder.

Definitely a 5 PAW-pect star for this book! I like the entire story and it's really fun to read how Henry had a great time exploring the Buckingham Palace. Because of his amiable and helpful personality, he won some friends, both human and canine, while he was there in the palace. We could learn from Henry that instead of fighting those who doesn't like you, try to return their animosity by being patient and kind.

If you're looking for something to read during the Christmas holiday, this is highly recommended because it is a light read and heartwarming at the same.

Henry the Queen’s Corgi is a delightful story about a corgi who gets separated from his beloved family during a holiday outing in London, who finds his way to Buckingham Palace, where he is mistaken for a new corgi the queen has just acquired. I found that seeing the palace through the eyes of this little corgi made for a fascinating read. Throughout most of the story, both Henry, the lost corgi, as well as his family, the Walkers, composed of two heart-sick children and their mother, miss each other terribly. In addition to losing their family pet during this holiday season, the Walker children are also contending with their father leaving their mother for another woman, who happens to currently be more caught up in his new love than with his children. Thus, losing Henry at this particular time only puts an extra strain on an already stressed out family. This story may be more of a story for children, but I think any reader who enjoys a sweet holiday tale or who enjoys dogs will find it very satisfying. The book alternates chapters, one using Amy, the mother, as the family voice to convey the angst of losing Henry and of the divorce, and Henry, the little corgi, as the voice to relate his adventures within the palace and his reaction to everything around him. This juxtaposition of points of view or thought provided an effective way for the author to show the reader how the family felt about losing Henry and the newness of an impending divorce as well as the wonder of the palace. I feel confident that this can easily become a holiday staple for readers and families everywhere looking for a good holiday story to get them into the holiday spirit. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

This delightful Christmas tale involves a family pet, a Corgi, who gets lost on a December outing with his family. But he doesn't get lost only to wander the streets, but to fall into Corgi heaven, AKA Buckingham Palace.

While the other dos know he is "not one of us," the Queen is away and the servants just think he's the new dog. Henry learns to make his way in this new life, making friends both two- and four-legged, while his family searches for him.

It's a charming story and Henry, the Corgi, is a delightful narrator.
