Lily has everything ready for Fern's sleepover: books, games and cheesy acorn pie for dinner. Will Lily's first sleepover be the best night ever? 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."
