Half Magic
Publisher Description
Hurry, Hurry, Mary Dear
At the direction of her lazy husband, elderly Mary must make preparations for the winter months in a frenzied crescendo of activity - bottling fruit, oiling snowshoes, pickling vegetables, chopping firewood and salting hams. Erik Blevgad's glorious watercolours perfectly capture Bodecker's unique wordplay. We see Mary becoming redder faced and more dishevelled with every task completed, until her exasperation at her husband's orders spill over into delightful revenge at the end of the story.

Miss Jaster's Garden
Hedgie the hedgehog lives in a little corner of Miss Jaster's garden. One morning nearsighted Miss Jaster mistakenly plants some seeds on Hedgie, who is asleep in the flowerbed. Before Hedgie knows it, flowers have sprouted among the quills on his back! It's the happiest day of Hedgie's life, his feet begin doing little dance steps and before you know it Hedgie dances out beyond the gate. When Miss Jaster thinks she sees her flowers walking by themselves, she calls the constable. Will Hedgie ever be able to return to the garden he loves? Originally published in 1972, Miss Jaster's Garden is a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book. "It was with great joy that I found this picture book by Mr. Bodecker, newly republished this year. The storyline is purely light and charming. A little hedgehog accidentally ends up sprouting flowers and all sorts of miscommunications arise as a result." -Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal

But as they travel along the road in their small Italian car on the way to their concert on the far side of the mountain, one disastrous wrong turn leaves them lost in the mountains with no sense of direction. Will the Daffodil String Quartet make it to their concert, or will all of their hard work have been for nothing?
