I bought this book in a book store for my 5 years daughter. I just grabbed it last second without looking beyond the cover so she will not be upset that her 3.5 years old brother got something and she did not. She liked the cover and the name of the book.

Another favorite part is when Wendy puts spells on her sisters, Wog and Polly...
