A Day with the Duchess

Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di #4

by David Seow, Soefara Jafney (Illustrator)

Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di are three siblings who love doing things together. Sam loves princesses and is thrilled that Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is visiting Singapore. With Kate, Sam’s hamster, the siblings try to meet the princess when she visits Gardens by the Bay. The hamster is a little scared by the crowds and runs off—finding refuge in the Duchess’s bouquet of flowers. Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di follow the princess all over Singapore to try to get Kate back. And when they find Kate, they also have the pleasure of meeting the princess herself!

Such a cute story

[Linda Lingard · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a beautiful and lovely book. We have so many pictures and stories of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, one fears this will be yet one more groupie type of story but author David Seow cleverly steers away from that and makes a hamster, also called Kate, the heroine. The illustrations by Soefara Jafney is just right - my favourite is the one with Kate the hamster holding a flower behind Kate the Duchess of Cambridge. The front cover shows the famous Raffles Hotel. The book comes with paper dolls of Kate Middleton and Prince William with different costumes. A treasure of a book.
