The Magic Paintbrush cover

The paint dries on the paper. The painting of the pot is not a painting any more, but real, and steaming hot.

An enchanting tale told in rhyming verse from the author of The Gruffalo.

With her magic paintbrush, Shen can paint steaming pots full of fish and oysters to feed the hungry people in her village, but when the evil emperor hears of her gift he commands Shen to paint gold for him instead. She is determined to keep her promise to paint only for the poor, but how can she match the emperor's mighty power?

In The Magic Paintbrush, Julia Donaldson's brilliant verse combines with beautiful illustrations from Joel Stewart, creator of The Adventures Abney and Teal, to bring vibrant life to a traditional tale of how a little girl's integrity can withstand the corruption of power and greed.

This edition features a stunning redesigned cover, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson fans – big and small!

Beautifully illustrated . . . and wonderful to read aloud * The Daily Telegraph *
