The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For fans of Mary Poppins, heroine Miss Petitfour and her feline friends return for more flights of fancy in this cozy, charming collection of illustrated stories.

Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are "just the right size" for a "single, magical day." With her sixteen cats and the aid of a tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour soars - which is to say, she rises high in the air and flies - over her charmingly eccentric village, encountering adventures along the way.

One never knows where the wind will take her in this delightfully seasonal collection of magical outings - perhaps to the aid of dearly loved friends and neighbours, including a hapless handyman and an onion-loving baby, or to a coconut-confetti parade, or in search of keys, lucky charms, or even simply the perfect tablecloth for her next flight.

A witty, whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrate language, storytelling, and all the pleasures of life, large and small!
