Book details
A Fairy in a Dairy
Description
Buttermilk Hollow is about to become the next victim of big business. People are moving away from the sleepy town, and the farmers, with Mayor Clabber's encouragement, are thinking about selling their land to a factory. If only the town had a fairy godmother, Farmer Blue wistfully wishes to his cow, Pixie. The next day, dairy products pop up in the most unusual spots-under pillows, out of the sky, and in the shape of elegant Swiss cheese formal wear. As the mysterious gifts continue, the "For Sale" signs disappear and the townspeople celebrate their dairy windfalls. But who is the fairy godmother? This delicious picture book celebrates the power of bovine magic with sunny illustrations and a delightful surprise ending.
