ROSES AND PINK ERASERS A Faery Tale

The magic begins when Sam and Henry are unable to sleep and their mother tells them an exciting story about Maggie and the Blue Fairy, irresistibly narrated by the author. Llewelyn creates a comforting mom and true-to-life boys and girls, and even more engaging are the talking hamsters, ducks, ducklings, and bossy cat. Sound effects--such as the gorgeous tinkling reminiscent of Tinkerbell, unexpected knocking on doors, and a swoosh when Maggie is spirited away to the magical kingdom--add to the fanciful atmosphere. Most fascinating for young listeners is the powerful voice of the queen and the voice of Sister Celeste, who is taught magic by Maggie in a fun adult-child reversal.
