A new book by acclaimed children's writer and illustrator Shirley Hughes is an enormous treat for children and adults alike - and this story of friendship and loyalty is a particularly poignant one. Jonadab is an old stuffed toy donkey and Rita is his faithful friend, a stuffed toy mouse. Both toys have been forsaken by their owner, little girl Minnie, at the expense of newer and shinier toys. Even Jonadab's secret, that he can fly, is no help... until one day, when he has a perilously close encounter with a dog! Will Rita be able to save the day? With Shirley Hughes' trademark beautiful illustrations and a captivating storyline, this is a book that all young children and their parents will enjoy. We certainly did!
