I liked Alison the Art Fairy because I liked how everybody was drawing. What I didn't really like is that the goblins took Alison's star badge and were bragging that they were super good at making art creations. In class, they had to do this project and at first everyone was doing so well but then the goblins start to use the badge to make a really cool rocket and everyone else's projects broke and glue started to go everywhere.

2.5 Stars!
I think Rainbow Magic just shouldn’t do school-themed books, I’ve read three so far and they’re all bad, I’m so sorry. Anyway, here’s some stuff that actually stuck with me.
-Alison’s design is pretty good! She looks like what teen show stylists think ‘artsy’ girls dress like and I genuinely love that for her.
-So like, the goblins are just chilling in the human world after stealing the magic badges that Jack Frost stole from the fairies? Wild.
-Rachel wanting to draw Ruby the Red Fairy and Kirsty a rainbow for her to fly over… I’m always gonna be a sucker for nostalgia bait.
-Oh my god, I haven’t read about a fairy crying in one of these in a hot minute, Alison is such a sensitive little bean. (Also of course her tears are silver! Are all fairy tears silver? They honestly don’t cry that often, Idk, I need to look into this now.)
-“No goblin could have drawn this on his own.” - They’re all dumb and untalented I guess? Damn, Rachel is ruthless.
-I like their art project, I feel like I did something like that in second grade but instead of cardboard boxes, I think we had to use construction paper to make our cars (which is so stupid when you really think about it, like, using cardboard makes so much more sense).
-Aw, I love that the girls are making sailboats. What Kirtsy said actually makes so much sense, they really do go on a lot of boats.
-In-fighting between goblins always works.
-This is definitely me being annoyed with the publishers because the original UK cover, as I just discovered, has Alison wearing a blue tie-dye skirt, but on the cover of the book that I read, she wore a basic pink skirt. This is annoying and also confusing because, in the book, her skirt is described how it is on the UK cover so obviously I’m thinking to myself like, no it’s not where is this tie-dye you speak of? There was no need for the skirt to be changed and it made Alison’s description in the book unnecessarily confusing. I couldn’t even appreciate her saying she made the skirt herself!

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!

I absolutely ADORE IT !

I really like the idea of Jack Frost starting his own school. This book went by quickly, which also stood out in the previous one. Not sure why it's got such a different feeling. Anyhow, the challenges brought by the missing badge (and the opposite for those holding the badge) were entertaining, but fairly similar to the previous book. I would have liked to see a bit more variety in the plotlines. I continued to enjoy the goblins, though, so it's definitely not too big an issue.

On the second day of Kirsty joining with Rachel as her classmate in her school, they met Alison the Art Fairy, and she needs to find her magic gold badge. Rachel's teacher is having an art session using recycled materials and the selected project will be shown on the last day when the superintendent arrives in her school. Surprisingly, the goblins has Alison's badge and they need to get it before the mess.

February 17, 2016This one deserves 16 stars. I'm not giving my own rating, in case you hadn't noticed, as I think that would be a little unfair seeing as how I'm not the target audience. Besides I'm rather sick of these books.

It’s about two girls named Kirsty and Rachel helping Alison. Alison is a fairy who loves art but Jack Frost stole the magic gold art badge from Alison. My favorite part of this book is when Kirsty and Rachel getting back the magic
gold badge for Alison because it was a happy ending.
