This is Jools' debut book as an author although Jools was already acclaimed for her illustrations. This picture story book is packed full of fun animated creatures of all shapes - the cute and cuddly creations of Fluffley's Fine Toys store, the toy shop of choice for royalty!
The story tells the tale of a visit from Princess Flo and all of the hard work and preparation that the staff at the toy store go through for her visit. Princess Flo is looking for something a little out of the ordinary and, thanks to a bit of a hiccup in preparations, she finds exactly what she is looking for. A HippoPandaMouse. Perfect.
Holly and Lara (4 and 6) both enjoy this story - Lara really appreciates that something doesn't have to confirm to be desirable. I just wish she'd learn this lesson in her school life too. Holly likes looking through the different animals and cuddly toys on each page.
