Ruby talks with her mouth full, forgets to say “please” and “thank you”, and makes a mess wherever she goes. Yet one
unbelievable
day Ruby receives a gift that many little girls only dream of – a royal invitation to have tea with The Queen! Can Ruby get ready in time for Sunday? Ruby is so excited she tells everyone about the invitation, her family, her neighbors, even her mail carrier and her soccer coach. They all have advice for her on the proper way to behave at the tea: “Don’t shout.” “Sit up straight.” “Dress appropriately.” “Wait your turn to talk.” After all, the author, Sarah Ferguson, should know about queenly manners. Fergie, as she is more commonly known, is the Duchess of York and a former member of the British Royal Family. She also wrote the “Little Red” and the "Budgie the Little Helicopter" children’s book series. Fergie dedicates this book to her two
daughters, Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York, who are fifth and sixth in line to the British Throne. Tea for Ruby is a cute story with repetitive text and a surprise twist at the end.
