Amelia Minnie and the Travelling Teapot
Angela Hotham
Illustrated by Isabella Misso Branca
It’s Tea Tuesday, and with help from a magical teapot and dancing dishes, Amelia Minnie’s tea party springs to life.
It’s Tea Tuesday—Amelia Minnie’s favourite day of the week! She gathers her toys, lays out the table, and prepares the perfect tea party… until she realises something is missing: the teapot! Just then, a magical teapot from Down Under crash-lands in the backyard, bringing with it a whirlwind of dancing spoons, swirling cupcakes, and a table full of unexpected guests. When the fun is over, Amelia Minnie is already dreaming of what Wednesday might bring. Amelia Minnie and the Travelling Teapot is a warm, whimsical tale told in playful rhyme and brought to life with lively, imaginative illustrations.
- A vibrant and imaginative celebration of childhood play, routine, and the unexpected joy of magical surprises.
- Told in rhythmic, read-aloud verse that supports early literacy and encourages repeat readings.
- Richly detailed, animated illustrations capture the excitement and whimsy of a tea party like no other.
