"Corderoy's witty rhyming text details Granny's helpful, but atypical, way of coming to her granddaughter's rescue. From improving a ballet class to cleaning up after a pet bunny, she tends to use magic to create more problems than she solves. When it's time to plan the narrator's birthday party, the youngster pleads with her grandmother to bake a cake, sew a dress, and celebrate the day 'spell-free.'"--Publisher.
