Bored after three days of non-stop rain, Priscilla goes outside to perform a rain-stopping dance and meets Posy the Pixie, who shows her the magical land of Primrose and teaches her to appreciate both rain and sunshine.
I love Holly Hobbie, so I am not at all surprised to find I enjoy Nathaniel and Jocelyn Hobbie in a collaboration in Priscilla. Then in regular style there is an awesome pop out treat at the end. In an artistry form reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, yet with color scheme of Lisa Franks this book is a bright rainbow delight. It is hard to find beauty in a rainy dreary day, but the Pixie Princess and Priscilla find a way!

This is a charming story with cute artwork. It is a fairy tale in the old style of fairy tales including a friendly pixie! This little girl gets tired of day after day of rain. She sets out to try to solve the problem and discovers it is not a problem at all.
This is a fun story about making the best of a rainy day and seeing the good about all of nature. The rhyming narrative and adorable illustrations are sure to entertain young girls, especially on a rainy day.
