A Magical Adventure David knew that one should be prepared for
anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he
would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an
enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan, and a
scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an
open book on the ground and was reading from it This was David's
first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant
and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking
in David's education-he flunked questions like "How do you tell a
true from a false Unicorn?"-and undertook to supplement it with a
practical education, an education that would be a preparation for
Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive
measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix,
but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious
adventures for boy and bird. A wonderful read-aloud book,
adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the
humor of the fantastic.

What ever could a childhood pact with God and waterfowl ever have
in common? What if trust allowed one to be a witness to it? The
belief that words can form a spiritual bond after death sets the
tone for this narrative and for the preceding pages of poetry, all
with a single theme traveling from grief to hope gone asunder,
where the underlying theme is the possibility of encountering God
in the most unexpected encounters with people, and in the most
surprising of places.
Dress the fairies for dancing with elegant swans, waltzing with
swirling snowflakes and having their wishes granted by their fairy
godmother in this magical addition to the best-selling Sticker
Dolly Dressing series.
