The characters and the dialogue in this book will interest and amuse children. There is a furry dogmother, Fairy Nuff, a flowerwork display, the Silly-Willies, Mr. Blubberbelly, and the dragon that became flame-ous by appearing in films. The stories are all witty modifications of common fairy stories involving genies that appear, fairies, pixies, leprechauns, mermaids, other unusual creatures and of course, some ordinary people. The illustrations are very well done and are in the margins.
