Series: Hairiette of Harlem

Hairiette's birthday goes from disappointing to dazzling when she gets a surprising and spectacular present.

Hip, hip, hooray! It's Hairiette's Birthday!

With her glowy hair done and the perfect dress picked out, Hairiette is ready for her special seventh birthday present. But on the big day, there is no bike in sight! All she gets is a stinking barrette and comb. It looks like it isn't going to be a hip hip hooray day after all...until a class unit on imagination changes everything!

i + magi + nation = My Magic Nation!

Using the power of her imagination, Hairiette turns her boring birthday gifts into charmed objects that whisk her off to an enchanted place called Magic Nation where she can have hip hip hooray days every day! All she needs is a little creativity and the magic words, ""Razzle, Dazzle, Diddly, Do!"" and soon the adventures begin!
