There are over 200 of these books and I think they're still making them. I must've read like 50 of them when I was a kid.

This series of books totally captured the imagination of my 6 year old daughter. Saffron the Yellow Fairy was her favourite.

[Kellie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Megan finished this series a couple days ago. She read all of them, but I've read them to her before. She has now started reading The Weather Fairies and is a few books into that one already. I guess it helps that she was sick this weekend and didn't feel like doing anything but reading.

She really likes these books as she is very into fairies at the moment. The books are simple and follow a simple pattern. Jack Frost steals something from the fairies in each series. The fairies look to two young girls to help them recover these missing items. Predictable, but perfect for a young girl Megan's age (5) up to probably 3rd or 4th grade.

My one complaint is the fairies are sometimes not in the most modest clothing. It's noticeable enough that Megan has actually commented on it. Usually it's something like, "Her dress is pretty, but it's not modest." I guess because they are fairies we can forgive them.

This is a great beginning reader series! My daughter (age 6) has been burning through these at the clip of about one book every day or two. This series is doing just what these types of series are designed to do - increase fluency, boost confidence, and get kids excited about reading.

So far she's read most of the Rainbow series and is about halfway through the books in the Petal Fairies series and the Gemstone Fairies series.

Decent story lines and some challenging vocabulary put this series above both the more popular Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody book series (the characters are a lot more pleasant as well).

[Brad Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

These were tremendous books and i would absolutely recommend them
Q1: Who was your favourite character?
Well there were 7 main characters because there is like 7 characters in this thingy.
The fairies in this series are relating to colours so here are them.
Ruby the Red Fairy, Amber the Orange Fairy, Saffron the Yellow Fairy, Fern the Green Fairy, Sky the Blue Fairy, Inky the Indigo Fairy, and Heather the Violet Fairy.
Those were possibly the best books in the universe basically. and Daisy Meadows is the author of a generation.. even better than Stephen King, Dr Seuss and this series even tops Shakespeare

Got bored on my drive so I went deep into the audible archives from my childhood

[Abigail · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just love these books, so nostalgic for me. Even though i'm in my late 20s I still reread them from time to time. I gave the big boxset I had to my goddaughter and they've been enjoying them too, especially because they have goblins in lol

[Esther · Rating 4 out of 5]

These are just perfect for Aurora (my 5 year old)...she loved them. I liked them too...so bonus!

[Katy W · Rating 1 out of 5]

Even if you're an atheist, pray that your daughters don't inflict these on you. Head-bangingly repetitive and ear-bleedingly dull, yet 6 year old girls can't seem to get enough of them.

apsalootly good

[Molly]

Looking back, this was the stupidest series ever. My parents absolutely hated them but I loved them. I didn't see what was wrong with them. After all I was a third grade girl and this was a book series about fairies vs goblins. Now I realize that these books all had the same plot.

Haha, deze heb ik met mijn zusje gelezen :) Dat is waarom hij erbij staat (ik liet mijn zusje goodreads zien en ze zei dat ik deze er wel bij moest zetten dus bij deze)

I absolutely loved these books when I was younger.

[SassyBooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved these as a kid, was a collector of the individual books.

[Louise · Rating 5 out of 5]

These were the books a read as a kid. I love them then and I love them still.

[Maren Hatch]

Very cute series. One of them almost eats fairy food in one of the books, however, and I just don't know if that's the kind of reckless behavior we should be teaching our children.

[Silke Van Rompaey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Als 7/8 jarige vond ik het heeeeel goed.

The nutcracker story was my fav

Mi infancia, no sabia que eso era la felicidad

[Megan May · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a fun book to read. I could under stand the book through the pictures and the words. The story was magical and because The story was magical I enjoyed it so much as a kid.

[Kirstysbookishworld · Rating 5 out of 5]

I look at the covers and suddenly I’m flown right back to my childhood and my obsessive need to collect and read all these stories! My parents were over the moon that I finally wanted something productive instead of sweets. My love for reading fantasy books and anything with a little magic in it can be rooted right back to these amazing books. I can only hope I have a daughter one day who’s as eager to read them as I was!

Rainbow Magic has become an international hit with young girls, who like to imagine that they too will meet a fairy one day and help save a place like Fairyland!

I know I am older now but I read nearly all of these books when I was around 5 or 6. I liked how many different fairies there were and all of their names and stuff but I got a bit bored of them as they were all the same stories, just with a different setting and fairy. Basically what happened on every story was that 2 girls found a fairy, found something for them, were stopped by goblins, got what they wanted back and went to fairyland. I loved them at the time but got bored quite quickly. I can't believe that there were just about 50 of these books written (if I remember rightly)

[Leslie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This rating is for my daughters age 5, 7, & 8, not me. They just love these books (although they give me a headache because they're all basically the same plot.) Two girls meet fairies and they have to rescue the 7 different fairies before Jack Frost does something bad. These, by far, are my daughters' favorite books. They look for the Fairy books every time we go to the library for the past year now. (There are a lot!)

[Devon Sandra Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

While working in a Deaf/Hard of Hearing classroom I got the chance to read most of these books to the students of the class. Primarily girls age 7-12. The girls looked forward to reading these books whenever I mentioned them and would listen attentively as I read aloud. The amount of pictures was perfect to help support the story. This series is great for girls of all kinds because of the unique personalities of each fairy. I would definitely recommend these books to any young girl.

(My overall review for the rainbow magic series)

These books were so magical to me as a child. They really got me into reading and I was so addicted. They helped me learn the colours of the rainbow and entertained me for several years. The books aren't very good. I've tried reading them again because I was interested in what I saw in them. The books are very similar and repetitive but to child version of me, they were completely perfect!

[Erin Duck · Rating 4 out of 5]

Formulaic and predictable, I still have to give these 4 stars since my 4,5 year old is absolutely obsessed with them and no matter how many we read, she stays interested, enthused and desperate for more. And really, they are cute stories with girls taking care or themselves and fending off badies on their own, so you could do a lot worse as a parent who has to read a series over and over again.

[Abby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thse are a fun books to read with my two girls 4 & 6. Two friends must find all 7 Rainbow Fairies before Jack Frost ruins Fairyland. In each book the friends, Rachel and Kirsty, find a new fairy. We're on book 4 now, Fern the Green Fairy.
