Amelie and Nanette are very excited! Christmas is coming, and they are busy making their fairy costumes for the party at school. There are cakes to bake and paper chains to make too. But on the day of the party, poor Nanette starts to shiver and sneeze – and has to stay at home! 

They are both very sad, but when Nanette gets better, a special fairy comes to visit, and Pilou the dog delivers a sack full of cards from her school friends! 

An enchanting festive story featuring two very special girls, who discover that the best gift of all is to have a friend to share Christmas with. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/au/amelie-and-nanette-snowflakes-and-fairy-wishes-9781408836644/#sthash.yuEv8snm.dpuf

Review: 5 out of 5 stars

Amelie and Nanette – Snowflakes and Fairy Wishes is such a beautifully illustrated and written book, I would happily give this book as a Christmas gift as it’s about Christmas and how two best friends celebrate and prepare for it together.

The messages within this book were delightful:

‘Because there is nothing nicer than having a best friend to share your secrets and adventures with… ‘{page 1}

It was sweet seeing these best friends super excited about Christmas and their preparations for their school party; Miss seven excitedly want to do the same thing closer to Christmas such as make paper chains and bake fairy cakes – unfortunately, with our climate making a snowman was off the list but the fun the friends shared was wonderful until one of them became sick but the kindness the other showed was a mark of their bond.

The text was easy to read and comprehend, this book was entertaining and easy for my daughter to read without guided help and as previously mentioned the illustrations were absolutely beautiful.

Thank you to Bloomsbury Publishing Australia for the opportunity to read and review this title.

We are looking forward to reading more about Amelie and Nanette’s adventures.
