Fiona has no time today — not even to go to the bathroom. She is in a big hurry to show off the volcano she and Felix made for show-and-tell. Just as the volcano erupts . . . oops! If only she had stopped to use the bathroom when she needed to! Fiona believes that everyone will laugh about her accident for the next fifty years. But with the help of Felix, her teacher Miss B, and a classmate’s trick goldfish, Fiona learns that little accidents are quickly forgotten.
When picky eater Felix finds himself in a pickle, his best friend, Fiona, gently helps him widen his culinary horizons.
Felix brings the same lunch to school every day: sprouts on buttered oat bread. He will also eat pasta with butter. And he loves macaroni and cheese. No need to try anything new. But on the night of his friend Fiona’s half-birthday celebration, Felix finds himself facing down an unfamiliar – and anxiety-provoking – menu. Will he leave the restaurant hungry, or can Fiona convince him to give new tastes a try?
With singular compassion and humour, Rosemary Wells once again shows how friendship can help buffer a familiar moment of childhood angst.
From the inimitable Rosemary Wells, author-illustrator of My Very First Mother Goose, comes the story of Felix the guinea-pig – who has a new best friend! With fearless Fiona, anything seems possible, and before Felix knows it, she sweeps him into singing and dancing with her as pixies in the Jubilee talent show. But right after Felix’s first-prize triumph, trouble waits in the wings. “Twinkletoes!” someone taunts, and Felix crumbles. Can he pull himself together and face the bullies? With a little help from Fiona, can Felix find a magic key that unlocks the secret to standing up to anyone?
