This is the first book in the Magic Animal Friends series. With eight chapters, just over 100 pages and lots of black and white illustrations, this is ideal for more fluent readers who needs something a little more challenging than first chapter books.

Lily Hart’s parents run the Helping Paw Wildlife Hospital and her new best friend is Jess Forester, who lives locally. It is the first day of the summer holidays and the two girls are happy to help out at the Wildlife Hospital, when they come across a golden cat which leads them to the magical Friendship Forest (cleverly hidden within an old, oak tree), where animals can talk.

This is a lovely story for younger children – it has a magical world, talking animals, wicked witches and all sorts of enchanting events. The girls need to rescue the little baby bunny, Lucy Longwhiskers, from the wicked witch Grizelda. Can they help the animals of the forest? The end of this book has the promise of more adventures and this will have great appeal; especially to girls who love animals.

Bu kitabı 3 sene önce eski okulumun önerdiği ingilizce kitaplar kataloğunda görmüştük ve canım çekmiş diye 8 serisini de sipariş vermişiz. Ben 1. Kitabını daha yeni bitirdim ama fark ettim ki bana artık birazcık kolay geliyor ve kitap sihirli bir orman üzerine kurulu. Kitap, Lily ve Jess adında iki yakın arkadaşın her zamanki gibi bir gün hayvan barınağında hayvanlara bakarken, altın renginde bir kedi görmeleriyle başlıyor. Barınak kayıtlarına baktıklarında bu kedinin daha önce hasta olduğunu ve bu barınakta tedavi gördüğünü anlıyorlar. Bunun üzerine kediyi bir ağaca kadar takip ediyorlar. Ağacın üstüne baktıklarında üzerinde bir şeyler yazdığını görüyorlar: Friendship Forest, yani Arkadaşlık Ormanı! Kızlar aynı anda Friendship Forest dediklerinde ağacın üzerinden bir kapı beliriyor ve macera başlıyor...
Her bir kitap serisinde, Jess ve Lily başı derde giren bir hayvanı kurtarıyorlar. Bu serisinde Lucy Longwhiskers adında küçük bir tavşanı kurtarıyorlar. Ben beğendim. Yeni ingilizce öğrenenler için harika bir tavsiye!
Sevgiler: ADA SEVEN ✨

This Is Really Good, Like The Others I've Read, Although I Haven't Read Them In Order. I Liked When They Rescued The Rabbit And She Snuggled Up

Really enjoyed this book

I think this was a great book. I can't wait until I read another Magic Animal Friends book. I just read to chapter three, stopped for a minute and that read some more till the end of the book because it was interesting.

Griselda is a bad witch.But I love the animals, Jess&Lily.

Da ich Hasen liebe, habe ich dieses süsse Büchlein geschenkt bekommen. Die Geschichte und die Animationen für Kinder sind toll. Macht Spass zu lesen. Aber nach dem Ende kommen noch Tipps und da stellte es mir die Haare hoch! Erstens, darf ein Kanichen niemals alleine gehalten werden! Zweitens; Käfighaltung war gersten! Also wenn man schon Tipps angeben will, dann bitte richtig und konkret oder man lässt es sein.

This was a cute book that I read with my daughter. A wicked witch Grizelda tries to take over Friendship Forest, but two human girls Lily and Jess help the creatures of the forest and also help to save an adorable baby bunny. Cute pictures throughout. A perfect read for little girls with big imaginations! We will be reading more of this series.

It’s fine but skippable. Super similar to Rainbow Magic fairies. Some aspects are interesting but some are very meh and bland. I do not like the agreement to keep Friendship Forest a secret! Had this on the list for Emily but I think we’ll skip.

I read this to my kindergartener this afternoon in about an hour. She absolutely loved it and can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I thought this book had a good ending.

[Kaylyn Crump · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was so good that I want it to go on and on and on! It’s about a rabbit named Lucky Long Whiskers, who the witch kidnapped, but then her friends rescued her.

I really didn’t like this series by the “fairy book” authors. One star from me, 3 stars from my 7 year old twins! The writing, the story, the illustrations…none of it worked for me!
