What does the Pageticker team say about That's not my fairy...?
Fiona Watt’s sparkly entry in the That’s Not My… series gives little hands plenty to explore, with five fairies, varied textures and the familiar white mouse hiding on every page. The repetitive text is excellent for joining in and building early language, although grown-ups should expect a sensory experience rather than much of a story.
