Lily the elf is getting ready for Jumble Sale Day!

All the elves are setting up stalls in their front gardens to sell the things they don't need any more. But Lily doesn't want to sell any of her things - they are all too precious. Will Lily be able to part with her special treasures? Perfectly pitched for emergent readers with simple sentence structure, short chapters, B&W illustrations, large font and white space, all designed for easy and well-supported reading.

Although Lily lives in a miniature elfish world, she is very relatable to her young readers. Lily's dilemmas and adventures centre on the concerns, fears and interests of girls 5+. Series has been reviewed in Books + Publishing: "Stand aside princesses and ballet dancers, elves could be the next big thing if the Lily the Elf series is anything to go by."
