The Princess and the Wizard

"The princess may try seven times to escape By changing her colour and changing her shape." But each time Princess Eliza changes – into a blue fish, a yellow chick, a red fox or a black cat – the wicked wizard finds her and sets her another horrible task. Will this plucky princess be able to outwit him and escape back to the palace in time to cut her birthday cake?

The Princess and the Wizard is a magical adventure from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard . With brilliant rhyming verse, bright and distinctive illustrations and glitter on every page, this story is perfect for reading together. This paperback and CD edition features a magical reading of the story by Imelda Staunton.
