When two small sisters go fishing in the magic pond, they find something much better than a frog or a newt: a bog baby. He’s little & blue with wings like a dragon, & the girls decide to make him their secret. Pssst! I won’t tell if you won’t! But the bog baby is a wild thing, & when he becomes poorly, the girls realise they must tell Mum. & she teaches them the greatest lesson of all – if you really love something, you have to let it go. A touching & beautiful tale of magic, loss & friendship, which won the Booktrust Pre-School Award in 2008. “A rather old-fashioned story, beautifully moving, which tells about friendship, family life & having to accept that animals have to live in different places” Wendy Cooling, Booktrust Award judge
