If they like magical stories, and if they like to deal with serious issues in a metaphorical way, they will love this sweet, funny and kindly book. I certainly did.
PS: Look at that beautiful cover. Mine's a proof copy, so just plain green. I feel quite jealous! My thanks to the good people at David Fickling for sending the book. We also have a review of [[The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket by John Boyne]].
Other fables involving toyshops and puppets include the dark and gothic-styled [[The Toymaker by Jeremy de Quidt]], and [[Puppet Master by Joanne Owen]], a chilling historical fantasy. I think they might also like [[The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick]].
