A little bit of magic can mean big adventure!
 
Andy and Robin are stuck doing chores with an old bottle of silver polish. But when they use it, incredible things happen. The salt and pepper shakers don’t get shiny—they turn into birds! The dustpan doesn’t clean—it starts flying! And when Andy and Robin tuck the birds’ feathers behind their ears, they shrink until they’re small enough to fly the dustpan out into the night. Where will their magical ride take them?

"A vital piece of the children's book landscape has been restored! The Ruth Chew chapter books are catnip for young readers--simply written yet richly imagined. I'm so happy to see them back in print." --Elizabeth Bluemle, The Flying Pig Bookstore
