An enchanting tale about a Princess and her Pugicorn, filled with adventure, Easter fun and an adorable baby chick.
It’s Helping Hands Week in Twinkleton-Under-Beanstalk and Princess Ava and her pet Pugicorn are helping at Cherry Tree Farm for the first time.
They can’t wait to drive the twirly tractor, watch all the golden twinkle-chick eggs to hatch and, of course, help to set up the Spring Fete.
But when some missing decorations get everyone in a flap, can one little chick learn to channel her powers and save the day?
The perfect Easter book to share with kids who love pugs, farmyard animals and unicorns.
