From a charming elf that gives impossible answers to important questions, to an otter that finds a home by the sea, these stories are both unusual and delightful. A poem about a mouse shows the costs of thoughtless friends, and the story of two elephants shows how difficult some friends can be. The story of the patient cat that watches and saves the day, and the good witch who searches for a considerate child, are full of magic, humor and delight. Illustrated by the author, this early-reader book can be shared and enjoyed by both parents and children. In this book, magic opens wonderful things, and self-discovery, patience, wisdom and compassion lead to success as the characters learn good lessons for life.
