lovely treat. Amy, the Dustpan Dolly is old and broken, Pat gives
her some new straw and she is good as new. When Clare sprinkles her
with the glitter she instantly becomes busy and rushes around the
shop collecting all of the crumbs on the way. And the star
attraction is Tommy, the pencil who draws beautiful rainbows on
every book in the shop. Pat and the mice are amazed by all of the
magic that happens at the shop and you will be too. Come along and
