The Shop of Magical Things is a lovely little book all about a mystery shop that is looked after by Pat and her pet mice, and some of the occupants who live there. That is not the magical part of the shop, though - a fairy named Clare lives in the Shop of Magical Things and when it closes, she sprinkles magic glitter on the occupants and they come to life. You will meet characters such as Pip, who is sad when he arrives at the shop but when Clare sprinkles him with her glitter he instantly cheers up and starts to sing and dance. Mollie, the Bear is very brave and loves the smell of honey, but she has never tasted it because she is a toy bear. When she is sprinkled with the glitter, she can also taste the 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 meet all of these wonderful characters in the Shop of Magical Things and find out what happens to them next.
