Genie and Teeny Make a Wish

Book Synopsis

Meet Grant the genie, and his best friend – the puppy Teeny…

The first in a series of magical adventures from the renowned illustrator, Steven Lenton, winner of Waterstones Picture Book of the Month and the Times Children’s Book of the Week.

When Grant the Genie is cast out of Genie World, he lands on Earth with a big, fat bump! Without a lamp to call home, he has to settle for an old cracked teapot instead.

Grant is very lonely until he meets the puppy, Teeny. Then Genie and Teeny are kidnapped by the evil purple-loving Lavinia Lavender, and find themselves on-course for a rollercoaster of an adventure – when all they really want is a place to call home…

Our Review Panel says...

Grant the Genie and Puppy Teeny double up on fun adventures in this short illustrated chapter book series. The books in the series do link together, but equally can be enjoyed as stand-alone reads.

The books feature gorgeous black and white illustrations throughout in Lenton’s highly recognisable style, plus the bonus of a draw-a-long activity for extra interaction.

The smaller format of these books makes them inviting to hold for younger children with well-spaced text and larger font appealing to beginner readers looking for a bridge between picture books and chapter books.

This is the first in the series, and highly recommended for a feel-good short chapter book.
