A kindly but hard-of-hearing fairy godmother brings trouble into the life of a young girl named Elsie and her family. For example, when Elsie`s mother says that Elsie has been behaving much better than before, the fairy godmother mishears and thinks that Elsie`s mother wants there to be four multiples of her child. The situation spirals out of control until the family cat finally finds a way to set things right. Watercolor and colored pencil illustrations accompany the text.
