This book was pretty boring. There were a few details that managed to keep my interest long enough to finish the book (they’re not even all positive btw), but overall this was very meh.
-Kitty’s design was pretty cute! I liked her boots and green and brown worked really well as a colour scheme. I also loved how her short, curly hair had such a feline quality to it, but I could’ve done without the weird pink headband with the ears. -I love how the girls are able to talk to all animals and not just the ones that the books are about. -The rubber boots were comically tall. -Rachel having a tiger-print lunch box is cute. Kitty flying out of that lunch box is weird. -The waterfall scene was gorgeous, I loved the artwork there! -Rachel and Kirsty riding on the tiger cubs’ backs was insane because they literally have wings and Kitty is flying along with them. -I wish Kitty was more pissed at the goblins for losing her keychain. -The goblins being scared of animals is baffling because some of them get really attached to animals, so it’s clearly not just a common trait amongst all of them. -I think having to take the keychain back from one of the tiger cubs was an interesting obstacle, we’d already established that they’re drawn to them. -Kirsty was so real for asking Kitty to use magic to move that log that she and Rachel couldn’t move earlier.
Daisy Meadows and her fairies are my childhood. I collected so many in my youth, knowing all the fairies and their importance, and sticking with the two special girls who go to be a part of the magic. Years ago I had to give my beautiful collection away, now still part of my childhood school where little girls are picking their favourite fairies and playing pretend. It's fun to hear stories from my old teachers telling me how over the years so many students have grabbed these books and fallen in love with the tales of two girls, Jack Frost and the fabulous glittering magic that is the fairies. On Christmas last year, my sister surprised me with a boxset of these books, but cause you cannot collect these darlings as easily anymore. I was over the moon! If anyone has a little one who needs a little magic in their life, wants to read and needs a big creation to be hooked on...it is Daisy Meadows!
This review was written by my 8 year old daughter Mia, with a little help from me. No spoilers!
We are back with Kirsty and Rachel at the Wild Woods Nature Reserve, they once again need to help the Baby Animal Fairies from Jack Frost. Jack has his sights set Sheba the tiger cub. Kitty the Tiger Fairy and the girls must find Sheba before the goblins or she will be captured and never seen again!
I really love the tiger cubs playing being happy, and seeing them swim, all the baby animals are my favorite. I like that these chapters are short and easy to read.
This is a fun start to a series that sounds interesting. I don't know that there were any real standout moments, but the story is cute, and the illustrations add a lot. Fairly standard for a Rainbow Magic book, but I like the idea of this series.
Rachel and Kirsty are back, the two best friends are starting their summer working for the Wild Woods Nature Reserves. But little did they know, their work would turn into an adventure when Kitty the Tiger Fairy asks for their help. They must save the tiger cubs, Sheba and her brothers from Jack Frost’s servants, the Goblins. Kitty uses the magic dust to shrink the girls, and they go to the jungle to begin their search.
My favorite part is when Rachel and Kirsty are working to clear the river, and Kitty arrives. At this point you know the journey is about to begin.
Kitty the Tiger Fairy is funny and interesting and I can always count on it for a good laugh. I like the story line of trying to save the animals. I think Rachel and Kirsty are very big hearted and compassionate.
Rainbow Magic: Kitty the Tiger Fairy is very cute and easy to read. I enjoy The Baby Animal Rescue Series because of its love for animals. I think ages 7-9, or grades 2nd through 4th would be thrilled to go on this adventure with Rachel and Kirsty. I give it 5 star because of its originality and delightful read. review by Tessa H, age 9 , Oklahoma Central Mensa
The writing in these books is awful. So many adverbs and clauses. "Kirsty said excitedly," "Kitty said anxiously," "she recalled, walking off through the woods." Can't a sentence ever just end with said? Terrible.
