Summary from Egmont
Enter an enchanted world of animal friends!
Each cute animal has its own pair of pretty fairy wings, and a
special job to do in Misty Wood to make it a wonderful place to live.
In book 3, it's Paddy the Puppy’s birthday! As Paddy flies all over
Misty Wood, spreading pollen to make the flowers grow, he invites his
fairy animal friends to come to his party. And when he arrives home,
he’s in for a lovely surprise!
Nayuleska's thoughts
I loved
how the often over excitement that comes with birthdays was portrayed - I was
surprised by and pleased that Paddy's parents reacted as they did - I fully
expected them to be angry. Even more surprising was his sister's sweet
reaction. The illustrations raise up the already cute story - my favourite
pictures are of the hedgehog (who didn't look that angry) and the cute mice).
