Jonadab is a very special toy - he can fly! But Minnie has so many
other toys that often Jonadab and his friend Rita the mouse find
themselves sad and lonely and left behind in the toy box ... One
moonlit night, tired of being ignored, Jonadab flies away and joins
a magical fairy feast. But then he can''t get back in to Minnie''s
room, and he discovers his new fairy friends are not as kind as he
thought.
Will courageous Rita be able to save Jonadab, and will Minnie
realise the value
內容簡介:
Shirley Hughes is one of the greatest writers and illustrators
for pre-schoolers that we have. The creator of the endearing,
enduring Alfie series, she understands a small child''s world to
perfection...Substitute child for donkey, and you have just the way
far too many children feel, especially in the holidays. The
expressions on Jonadab''s face - contented, bored, defiant, amazed,
lonely, wretched and utterly despairing - are all too familiar.
