A little girl is bewitched by the Fairy Queen - her eyes turn green, her face grows grey, her voice is stolen,"her long pigtails knotted and she'll have to eat toadstools until she turns spotted."
This is Heidi's fate in this collection for children: Heidi's House and Other Rhymes. Luckily her house is worried enough to grow feet and set out to find her!
Quirky events surface throughout this collection - from a fish called Fred who turns into a rainbow and a boy with luminous shoes, to Solomon Tucket who lives in a bucket and a teacher who turns into an apple.
Other poems are simple observations - of animals, insects and aspects of nature.
