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 book was okay, I just liked the first one better. I can’t tell if I find Elodie wearing a vest made of LAMB’s wool funny or vile, so let’s say I’m somewhere in the middle. Same with giving the goblin that sweater - sweet, but vile. (I like that these goblins are getting consistently attached to the animals they stole, and we’re being understanding letting them know they can come visit any time.
I loved this one too, it was super sweet, I am just picking them up randomly and it’s super easy to understand where they’ve left off which is great for kids. The illustrations have also gotten much better so I’m proud of them.
My 7 year old loves the fairy elements, thinks the goblins are silly, and likes that the human girls shrink down to join the fairy world. Throw in a dash of a lamb that meows and needs help, and you have a simple, but cute story for young readers.
It's like Billy Madison and I'm dumber for reading this with Golda...not good for early readers, or female individual empowerment. This is like what Ben Shapiro people want girls to read...told Golda to go goth. Please.
It wasn't as exciting as some of the other Rainbow Magic books I've read. It didn't really show the problem and how they solved it. It wasn't focused on what the book is really about.
