"First published in 2003, a new edition of this modern classic is brought to the next generation. From the magical pen of award-winning Sally Gardner comes this timeless picture book that will delight readers young and old."
In this wonderful world of fairy shops we visit Silverbell Street for a spree where anything can be yours, just by wishing. With a familiar cast of characters bursting from the pages, this will enrapture your young reader and become a firm favourite in any household.
If you believe in fairies, this is a shopping trip you'll never forget. Where a hat can make you a king or queen for the day. The pet shop where the pet chooses you. Buy a cloak of invisibility or magic lamp. An umbrella that will transport you to the stars. Fix your wonky wings. Buy your wands and wings from Sparks and Twinkle. And eat flying fairy cakes at the Foxglove Restaurant.
Play I spy and see which famous faces you can find hidden throughout the pages filled with the delightfully intricate illustrations. It's a trip down memory lane (as well as Silverbell Street) as Gardner conjures up every fairy tale, nursery rhyme and favourite story from your childhood. It's an absolute beauty and I'll be visiting regularly for my magical fix.
