This is a wounderful fairy tail filled with imagination. As a small child I would study the pictures finding little details I didn't notice at first. The copy I have now was my mothers as a child, it was very worn when it was given to me - the sign of a good book. I'm now going to buy new copies to read to my children and pass the story along to them. It is a fairy tail- with fairies, no witches nothing that I remembered being scary, unlike some stories I've tried reading to my two year old. It is heartwarming, simple to read and understand. Fun to look at the pictures(in my old book, I hope to new one is the same).
In all a great story.

My daughter checked this book out from the library and loved it, but it is out of print and hard to find. Found a great price through Amazon. Surprised my daughter with the book. She still loves it and reads it often.

A Children' Lit. class at the University of British Columbia selected "Pookie" as our all time favorite pre-school book as remembered from childhood. Pookie, a little white rabbit with bothersome wings sets out to seek his fortune, not knowing what a fortune is or where to find one. He has adventures and finally as he is bemoaning his fate, lands on the doorstep of Belinda who loves him and his wings.
The prose and vocabulary are challenging (I only remember this as being read to me, not reading it myself) and it conveys a lovely message about our differences from others being blessings, and the power of unconditional love. I love this book!
