Alexandra Day is a legendary storyteller who has a knack for surprising juxtapositions. She is the creator of the rottweiler named Carl who gently tends to an infant in a series of books that began in 1985. Now comes The Fairy Dogfather.

Hector has trouble differentiating the letters D and G. Thus when he writes a request for a fairy godfather, the Fairy Dogfather arrives instead wearing a fedora and smoking a cigar. He isn’t what Hector had in mind at all. He uses big words, and instead of simply granting Hector’s wishes, like a regular fairy godmother, he is a rather demanding visitor. And Hector needs a present for his Mom’s birthday right away. Can the Fairy Dogfather help grant his wishes?
