A rhyming picture book, full of colour and fun, for children from 3 to 8 years. 'Fizzy is a funny fairy, the problem is... She's rather hairy.' Actually, being hairy is only one of Fizzy's problems. She's also messy, noisy, wilful and wild. Not at all like a fairy should be...

Once upon a different time, there was a magic town called Rhyme, where absolutely everything and everybody was made of letters and words. This colourful rhyming picture book tells the story of the devastation caused when young witch Isabella (lovely girl but a rotten speller) paid an unexpected visit to this word-based nation. This original, funny book, with characters and animals made entirely of letters, will engage and entertain young readers - and hopefully inspire them to create their own letter characters. Parents will love its humour and originality too.
