Overview

Deep in the enchanted forest, the fairy tale creatures all have problems. Luckily they can call on the ultimate agony aunt – Dear Fairy Godmother! A sequel to Dear Mother Goose, this is a hilarious collection of fairy stories with a difference. All the best-loved fairy-tale characters are here and they all have a different problem, from the pesky girl who keeps eating little bear's porridge, to Pinocchio's mendacious habits, to the wolf who just won't leave Little Red Riding Hood alone. Along with their letters asking for advice comes the scene with the problem – then lift the flap and see Fairy Godmother's ingenious solutions to their predicaments! Wittily illustrated by Nick Sharratt, with a very funny text from Michael Rosen, this is a novelty book full of unexpected solutions – and a party at the end!

When you can capture a child's imagination from the first page, you know you're on to something and this original idea based on classic fairy-tales does just that...Great fun * The Sun * Rosen's had a nice idea: the characters write to a fairy godmother in the hope that she will rewrite history. And she does, with comic twists: the gingerbread man sloshes on aftershave to avoid being eaten, the three bears pour salt into their porridge, and the three pigs drive a wolf-proof armoured car. Happy endings all round. -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * With Nick Sharratt's colourful lift-the-flap pictures underlining each punchline, children will love the story twists. * Junior *
