Written by Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, and illustrated by Karen George, Freddie and the Fairy is a delightfully witty, rhyming tale. Freddie wants nothing more than a pet, so when the fairy Bessie-Belle offers to grant his wishes, he knows just what to ask for. But Bessie-Belle can`t hear very well and Freddie tends to mumble, which means the wishes aren`t turning out as planned! Whatever can they do? Luckily the Fairy Queen is on hand to help.
