A Puff of Smoke

Catherine Sefton
(Corgi)
978-0552524704, RRP £2.50, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "A Puff of Smoke (Young Corgi Books)" on Amazon

One of the newish series of Young Corgi titles --- a 'By Myself Book' which should be just that. At 56 pages with good size print and line drawings on almost every page, it is enticing in appearance. The story of young 'Beaky Kelly's' uncalled for encounter with a three wish genie and the trouble that ensues is very readable and has a satisfying rounded ending. I wish more short, single story paperbacks of this length were available for solo readers.
