Harriet and the Little Fat Fairy

The newest in the charming series of picture storybooks starring Harriet the hamster is a special holiday treat for youngsters. It's Christmas Eve, and our adventurous little hamster is up to mischief once again. The sparkling Christmas tree in Emily's and Billy's home is so wondrous a vision that Harriet can't resist scurrying up the trunk, climbing through the branches, and examining the tree's many curious ornaments. When Harriet climbs higher, she meets the little fat fairy that stands at the tree's very top. But the branch turns out to be much too slender to hold them both. Down to the floor they tumble! Like every other Harriet story, all ends happily for the hamster, and for her owners, Emily and Billy. (Ages 4-7)
