Mister Magnolia

  • Quentin Blake



A wonderful CD and picture book set of this classic and exuberant tale from the much-loved Quentin Blake.

Mister Magnolia has only one boot.
He has an old trumpet that goes rooty-toot -
And two lovely sisters who play on the flute -
But Mister Magnolia has only one boot.

In this wittily rhyming picture book, Mister Magnolia has a full and happy life except for one serious omission - a boot. But one day, he receives a mysterious parcel, and at last Mister Magnolia can splash in the puddles with everyone else!

Children can enjoy their favourite story time and time again with this brilliant picture book and CD set, featuring lively music and narration by Richard Briers.
