Jonathan the Magic Pony

Jonathan the Magic Pony

Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

Jonathan the Magic Pony is a BRILLIANT magician. With one wave of his wand, he can make anything disappear. And then come back again. It's fool-proof. Failsafe. Always works.

Except... when Jonathan magics away Sarah's bear, it doesn't come back! And every wave of his wand causes even more chaos, with:

Sharks chasing ducks
Baboons with giant wooden spoons
Chimpanzees covered in fleas

But Sarah's bear is nowhere to be seen!

Will it ever come back? And will Jonathan ever be a real magician?

This is the perfect magical story for fans of Grumpycorn and Supertato.
