Poppy stepped into the strangest room she had ever seen. The walls were changing colour and were decorated with sparkly silver and gold stars and moons. First blue, then pink, then purple and gold mixed together. It was like liquid colour.

The furniture was strange too. On the left was a sofa - but it wasn't on the floor! It was hanging in the air and moved around the room.
