"Wonderfully bewitching witchcraft for a series of animal magic and mayhem which will cast a spell over little girls - a warm, reassuring and uplifting series which never loses its sense of fun, magic and adventure." Lancashire Evening News "Has a warmth and directness that will hold young readers - sympathetic characters - especially Bella - reinforce the story's happy outcome and good-natured tone. Large black-and-white drawings decorating most of the double-page spreads add to the story's charm." Books for Keeps
