Wanda Coven’s Heidi Heckelbeck and the Magic Puppy is a magic story for 6 year olds about a lost puppy that Heidi would very much like to keep.<\/p>\n
Heidi, Lucy and Bruce are playing Frisbee in the park when it sails into a bush. Out jumps a scruffy brown puppy with the Frisbee in his mouth (and teeth marks all over it, which Bruce is NOT happy about).<\/p>\n
He’s got a collar but no tag. Nobody at the dog park knows him, and the vet’s scanner finds no microchip.<\/p>\n
The vet offers to take him to the animal shelter. Heidi says thanks but no thanks and marches out with him. Can you blame her? She’d love a pet of her own.<\/p>\n
So it’s Found Puppy posters all over the neighbourhood. While everyone’s out putting them up, the puppy gets the kitchen to himself.<\/p>\n
Towels everywhere, cereal all over the floor and the stuffing pulled out of a new cushion. Henry is very quick to point out the puddle. Mum and Dad are never going to say yes now.<\/p>\n
So Heidi gets out her Book of Spells and finds one for lost and found things. Halfway through the chant, the puppy leaps right into the mix.<\/p>\n
What happens next is the best bit. Her toilet turns into a fire hydrant, her teddies become chew toys and the puppy floats off the ground and out of the room!<\/p>\n
Aunt Trudy is the one to ring for a Heidi-mergency like that (and she’s there before Heidi has even put the phone down).<\/p>\n
After that it turns into a detective story. Heidi and Henry follow a trail of dug-up tulips and a chewed garden hose, and Henry decides his big sister is a brilliant detective.<\/p>\n
The sentences are short, there’s loads of talking and the puppy’s “Yip! Yap!” pops up all the way through. It’s a super easy one to read alone.<\/p>\n
If your reader has ever begged for a pet, they’ll be right there with Heidi. It’s the twentieth Heidi book, but you don’t need the others to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
If they’d like more of Heidi looking after an animal that isn’t hers, there’s Heidi Heckelbeck and the Tie-Dyed Bunny. She wins the chance to take Maggie the bunny home for Easter, along with eight rules to follow, and Dad’s lab is full of bowls of egg dye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
