  Felicity the fairy is very excited about her upcoming birthday and has many plans. She has decided that she is going to have a party and sends out invitations to all her friends. The games and decorations are chosen and next on her list of things to do is a visit to town to get a new party dress.
  When Felicity gets to Little Blossoming she sees her friends in some of the shops but they all seem to be terribly busy and in such a hurry. They barely speak to her and each one flies off without so much as a "goodbye" or a "see you later". In fact they all behave very strangely indeed.
  Things become very glum for Felicity over the next few days when every single one of her friends, except Polly, say that they cannot come to her party. How can Felicity have a party with just one friend. There is only one thing to do; Felicity has to cancel the party. Is Felicity going to be able to celebrate her birthday after all?
  This charming little book full of lift-the-flap cards, doors, windows, and other secret places will delight any little girl who is fond of fairies and surprises. Though we can guess that Felicity is going to get her birthday after all, the surprise at the end of the story is so well planned that the reader gets a surprise to match that of the little fairy who thought that all her friends had forsaken her. An entertaining tale with soft pastel illustrations and large grand finale pop-up on the last two pages.
