This year, Pinkalicious wants to be ready for the fairies’ arrival, so she makes a cozy house for the fairies to stay in during their visit. Peter and Pinkalicious camp out in the backyard, waiting for the fairies to appear—but will they be able to see them?

This story taught team work. Pinkalicious and her brother built a Fairy house together to reach a common goal of seeing the fairies.

A beautiful magical tale about the magic of believing in fairies.

The illustrations are so pretty!

[Michael · Rating 2 out of 5]

The illustrations in this book are wonderful, definitely better than normal for this series. Sadly, the art is paired with a terrible story that is partially reused from Silverlicious.

Pinkalicious sees that it's sparkly outside when the sun rises, so she decides fairies live in her yard. She builds a fairy house and stays up late, hoping to see the fairies, but she falls asleep. She wakes up the next morning and sees that, once again, it's sparkly when the sun rises. (Has she never seen a sunrise or sunset before?) Pinkalicious gushes over how magical this is, and she decides it proves fairies are real! The end.

This book is extremely adorable!
I was looking for a fantasy/magical book that included the color pink to read with a student during my field experience. Needless to say, this book did not disappoint! Pinkalicious and her big imagination take the reader on a journey of building a fairy house to catch her garden fairies in. She even goes as far as sleeping outside to see if she can catch the fairies visiting her garden at night. This is such a cute, imaginative story to read with any young reader.

This was a library book from my daughter's school. It's a cute story that turns morning dew into a tale about garden fairies. As an early reader book, it's also very simple. Not my type of story, but my 5-year-old daughter loved it. Hard to tell if that was genuinely for the story or because these books appear to be popular in her class. Either way, at least she enjoyed her library book for the week.

This book is definitely deserving of a 5 star-rating. It shows how creative kids can be when they are younger. Yet it also shows how foolish they can be as well. Peter and Pinkalicious are a great demonstration of this. The mood of this book is amazing, Pinkalicious and her brother are just having fun with no problem except for the disappointment they feel when the fairies never came to them. Certainly a great book to read to your dying grandmother on her death bed.

Okay, we love Pinkalicious here, but this story was just odd. I couldn't figure out what the faries were. Dew? Spring? Hahaha. Oh well. Cute story either way. Typical Pinkalicious. Colorful, bright illustrations.

I really liked this book because Pinkalicious made a house that was really cool!

[Jessica Loomis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought that this book was magical and reminded me of that time in childhood when fairies were real. This is one of our go-to series at our public library.

My granddaughter says it has fairies in it how could she not like it. She read it herself.

The pinkalicious series of books is a favorite with my nieces!

My daughter is a big Pinkalicious fan and I have to say that they are rather cute stories. I myself enjoyed reading this one with her. Magic is in the air in Pinkalicious Fairy House.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

My toddler loves these books. He didn’t know what a fairy house was and thought it looked really fun. If you want to encourage kids to believe in fairies this is a sweet book for it.

The house she makes is for the fairies who help her garden to grow. Read to my 5 year old granddaughter.

My kids and I enjoyed this book. my daughter loved the illustrations as well. it was a cute story. I would recommend this book to others.

[Melissa Namba · Rating 2 out of 5]

a cute book to read to children, but lacking in terms of helping children learn how to read. a cute story about wanting to stay up late and catch fairies versus going to bed as normal.

[Ronna · Rating 1 out of 5]

My granddaughters love the color pink, so I hoped this book would expound on that. I was also looking for an early reader book with simple words to sound out or sight read. This book failed on both counts. This is part of a story book series, so perhaps I've missed the basis for this story.

Two children are looking for faries. They build a tiny house and tea set in their back yard in hopes of seeing them. They camp out, but miss the fairies that must have come because some of the berries are gone from the tea set. Not a very exciting story line either, but lovely pictures. There seem to be a multitude of these books, so I will try the storybook versions before leaving this series as a failure for me.

Pinkalicious loves spring and longs to see the fairies that help her garden bloom. She builds a fairy house in her backyard to welcome them and sets out honeysuckle and berries to entice them to use it. Peter and Pinkalicious camp out in the backyard hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious fairies, but both children fall asleep before they arrive. In the morning, they celebrate the fairies secret arrival and the gifts of spring with their mom and dad.

Great story! Digital illustrations showcase all the best features of spring. Pair this book with a craft project in which you build a fairy house for your garden!

[Ribbon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pink and her brother want to see the fairies that bring spring and build a fairy house for them, then go camping in the back yard in further attempt to see them. The fairy house construction is beautifully illustrated and creative and may inspire a whole line of craft projects. The story avoids directly addressing whether fairies are real or not, which I find more palatable than the Pinkalicious stories featuring Goldilicious, the ridiculous flying unicorn. This story is also a lot less fixated on the color pink than most in the series, which is a welcome break.

[Ashley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pinkalicious is a popular series amongst young emergent female readers. The concept of this story is cute and certainly relate able for your readers.

However, I have to nitpick on the fact that the text is black over green background most of the time. A key element in identification is having large, simple to see text. I would've liked to see even white bubbles so the words didn't blend.

[Holly Letson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pinkalicious knows fairies are coming to the garden, so she and Peter build them a little fairy house. They also sleep outside, as to see them, but they fall asleep and miss the fairies. Luckily, they leave behind signs that they were there.

Have the story read to you, like I did!

46 months - Not a stellar pinkalicious book but most learning to read books are not fabulous anyway. What we did like was the fairy house and accessories. Makes us want to make our own.

Pinkalicious saw fairies! It was awesome.

This gets an extra star because there was music hidden in the scenery.
