Summary/Back cover:
Jo, Bessie and Fanny take their cousin Rick on an adventure he'll never forget to the magic Faraway Tree, where he meets Moon-Face, Silky the fairy and Saucepan Man, and visits all the different lands at the top of the Faraway Tree. Like the Land of Spells, the crazy Land of Topsy-Turvy, and the land of Do-As-You-Please, where the children ride a runaway train!


Review:
This is a great book, was mine when I was a child so a bit of an old one but still a good one. There are friends who have a magic tree in the woods by their house, there are strange people living in the tree but even more amazing is the lands above the cloud at the top of the tree. Who knows how long they will stay or what the next one will be?

I try and read this one to the kids, Dylan loves it as he gets to make up his own lands and people ... tiggers bouncing on pink marshmallow clouds was a favourite! and use his imagination to see what else he can think of next.
