Plot
The book by Dick King-Smith features the story of Harmony Parker, a 10-year-old girl who wants an animal of her own, but this is not allowed by her parents, who think that animals are dirty. Harmony has a 15-year-old sister, Melody, who spends most of her time looking in a mirror. Harmony's best friend is a toy dog, Rex Ruff Monty.
Harmony believes that animals are more interesting than people, and so she pictures the people she meets as animals; her father is a sea lion, her mother a Pouter pigeon and her sister a Siamese cat.
She receives a magic
50p coin from her uncle Ginger, which grants her seven wishes whenever she rubs the side of the coin that Queen Elizabeth II
's nose is pointed at.
