Story about a little girl with a pet rabbit who likes all of her family members to animals/gives them animal names because she thinks they share the characteristics with those animals. She received a magical fifty pence piece from an uncle and magical things start happening to her.

A truly lovely story. If you normally like Dick King-Smith's books, you will definitely like this one.

I am a primary school teacher and remember this story from my own childhood.

Don't be put off by the poor tv series based on this book which was shown a few years ago. This story is exciting and beautifully written.

It is ideal for use in the classroom when looking at "character" in literacy. The narrator likens all the characters in the story to animals, making for some interesting work on character traits.

A great read and ideal for 7-9 year olds.

A story my mom and I both enjoyed 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My mother and I read the Dick King Smith books together and "The Queen's Nose" was excellent! It is just one of the great books Dick King Smith has written.This story teaches you that there are some ways that wishes can come true but not all of them are as easy as 1 2 3. I loved this book! Go Dick King Smith Go!
