We LOVE this series!!!

We own all of this series! Started reading them when my daughter was 4 (she just turned 5 now), and they are age appropriate. Not too scary and always a happy ending. One book only takes us about 4-5 nights worth of reading together. The longer ones are good too "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" and "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand", but they are a little bit scarrier than the short books (more appropriate for ages 5-7 I would think).

Books - Fairies

Good reading books for 9 year olds +. My 10 year old granddaughter loves this series of books. I have purchased her 5 different stories and she has re-read them several times. Loves them.

Very Well Written

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

In my opinion the best Disney Fairies books have the conflict growing out of the fairy "talents". In this book Bess' gift for painting is both a blessing and a curse. I was especially pleased to see the connection Bess (the heroine) and Vidia (the "outcast") made. I would love to see more of this in later books. I would not like to see Vidia turned into a target for unthinking hatred. Bess the artist and Vidia the speed addict both understand that the "group" (the "crowd", the "herd", the "community") can sometimes act REALLY SILLY and that the expression of personal feelings can sometimes only be understood by individuals. This deceptively simple story actually teaches a very valuable lesson.

Great book

I bought this book for my 7 year old daughter as she has been collecting the entire "Disney Fairies" series. She breezed through it in a heartbeat and also loved the pictures.
