A fun story-book for young readers, or for parents to read aloud, Francine Trevens’ Pixie Tales is a collection of pixie-themed bed-time tales with magical touches invading a modern world. Bad kids tease the fish in a fountain at a new housing development, but invisible pixies just might find a way to stop them when a young girl inspires them. In the second tale, a very curious cat has some very curious answers to her friends’ questions, and the reason is a story from years before. Time twists and creatures play their fun and delightful tricks, but some wise lessons hide in the tales as well—appreciation of what we have, not arguing, and the gift of imagination.
Fun bedtime stories, or naptime tales, this 5-story collection benefits from nicely drawn illustrations by Maggie Cousins, the shades of gray seeming almost bright on the page. Fairies, pixies, gremlins, ogres and gnomes combine with little girls and boys as the protagonists of these tales. And if you’ve never seen a pink leprechaun here’s your chance to find out what one looks like.
Disclosure: I read an ecopy of this book as a judge in the Children’s Literature—fiction section of the Dan Poynter Global eBook Awards.
