This is a good book for lower level readers. The plot is simple and it is a part of a series (all of which have the same basic plot). The book is good to build skills and confidence. The topic is also appealing to must young girls.

Use: independent reading book, book review, journal responses, compare and contrast to the other books in the series, character development.

At the farm one day, Kristy and Rachel are looking at guinea pigs and they notice that one of the guinea pigs is missing. Her name is Carrot. They follow a guinea pig and it climbs up a tree and Kristy follows it up the tree. Then it goes off the tree because it was scared and they find out it's not Carrot, it's Georgia's guinea pig, Sparky because the guinea pig flies.

Cute easy reader children's chapter book. I always enjoy a good story about guinea pigs. Haven't read any other books in the series, so that might have hindered my liking of this book, but it was still fine. Fairy magic felt like a plot crutch but I suppose I should go easier on a children's book haha.

I liked when the goblin got tied up in the lasso and the guinea pig was cute but why didn't Georgia just turn them into fairies when she first saw them?

Read aloud to my 4 yr old. She enjoyed it & cannot get enough of these books. I guess that's what really matters. I'm a bit bored of the fairy series, but they aren't written for me.

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 thought it was clever when the goblins dressed as sheep.

I read this book to see what all my grade 2-3 girls are so obsessed with. I would have loved this as a kid for sure.

Jack Frost wants a pet but in Fairyland the pets are all sentient and choose their owners themselves. Jack Frost steals all the pets from the Pet Fairies; not only are the fairies sad but they cant do their job protecting lost and homeless pets on Earth. Fortunately, the pets escape to the village of Wetherbury where Kirsty lives and Rachel is staying for one week of holiday. The series ventures to some local areas (like the park and neighbours) and also to Strawberry Farm, the stables, the Spring Show etc.

There are seven Pet Keeper fairies and they are: Katie the Kitten Fairy, Bella the Bunny Fairy, Georgia the Guinea Pig Fairy, Lauren the Puppy Fairy, Harriet the Hamster Fairy, Molly the Goldfish Fairy and Penny the Pony Fairy.

"Fairies with their pets I see,

And yet no pet has chosen me!

So I will get some of my own,

To share my perfect frosty home.

This spell I cast, its aim is clear:

To bring the magic pets straight here.

Pet Keeper Fairies soon will see,

Their seven pets living with me."

This is the third book in the Pet Fairies series by the group of author who call themselves Daisy Meadows. Our oldest is just tearing through these books and I am now picking up an entire series at a time, so she can have enough books until we go to the library again. This book was slightly different from the other series, which is refreshing as the formula is getting a bit old. Still, our daughter loves these books, which is all I could ask for.

Jan 2012 update: our youngest is now immersing herself in this series and is reading them very quickly, too. As inane as I thought they were, I love that this series is making readers of our girls. Hooray!

Another cute story in the Pet Fairies series, in this case involving a magical guinea pig that is lost in the human world. Once again Kirsty and Rachel end up rescuing the lost animal from the horrible glutches of the goblins.


The stories are always fanciful, and inevitably involve Kirsty and Rachel becoming fairies themselves for a short time. A cute story, although I don't care for some of the artwork.

a goblin in sheep's clothing. kind of cliche. this is the first of the fairy books where the fairy is not Caucasian. at least of the ones that I've read. kind of strange how they do not appropriately utilize magic, like when they are trapped inside with goblins, but use it for other reasons like animating ropes to tie up goblins. kids who don't overthink things will enjoy this.

i read his when i was 9 and i really enjoyed it because there is lots of problem and the girls have to solve it before the time runs out.

I read this with my daughter.

This is another awesome book that is in the whole fairy series. Yes this one was good too. All Mums should read this to their little 6 or 7 year old girl.

Like it.

The guinea pig could fly so Jack Frost wanted him as a pet.
