Magic Mess!

Airy Fairy #1

by Margaret Ryan

Everybody knows that fairies are charming little creatures, dainty, pretty, and tidy. Not Airy Fairy! All the fairies at the Academy for Good Fairies are using magic spells to make a birthday gift for Fairy Gropplethorpe. All except Airy Fairy, whose efforts are being badly muddled by the mischief of Scary Fairy. The result is fun and laughter.

Airy Fairy is essential good fairy who tries her best, gets it wrong and then somehow always gets it right in the end. Even though she is picked on, messes up her spells and is the clumsiest fairy.

The books are cute and teach children to keep trying and eventually you will get something right even if it does not go as planned. I am not big fan of the doodle art that is on the cover and in the books. I guess it is suppose to look childlike and free flowing like Airy Fairy.

They are chapter books so these books are short but sweet and are creative little stories.

It is ok. Not my favorite fairy book that I've read. It gets better as it goes on. I like the cover though.
