My Thoughts
I’m sure everyone has a little bit of Lottie Sparkles in them – that side of us that likes to be glamorous and a bit diva-ish and spoiled at times. She really is a character that I think most children will identify with and love to read about.
Lottie loves all things sparkly and is horrified when she is off to stay in the country with her grandparents. Much to her dismay, her pretty things get ruined by the animals and she has no choice but top wear the ‘dull and boring’ country clothes. But… when she ventured outside to explore, the magic truly beings.
I adored the fact that her grandparents had roles around the house and farm that were reversed from traditionally expected roles. The book stimulates lots of discussion about the need for material things and to look perfect all of the time. It also provides a gateway into discussions about true happiness and where it can be found.
The story is supplemented by delightfully drawn illustrations that will capture any child’s imagination.

Aside from all the glitz and glamour,she is a collector of magical books, tea sets, movies and a huge fan of chocolate. She has two little girls also known as “The Little Book-Fairies” with a BIG imagination.
