Alice the Fairy

Alice the Fairy (hardcover picture book, 40 pages)

By David Shannon

Alice is a mischevious red ringletted five year old who luckily is also a fairy--a Temporary Fairy. She has a magic wand, fairy wings, and a blanket, all of which she uses to disappear, to fly, to transform her dad into a horse, and to turn his cookies into her own! There are still a few things Alice needs to learn to become a Permanent Fairy, like how to float her dog on the ceiling and make her clothes put themselves away, but she's working on it--sort of. Here's an endearing, funny story about a girl and her magical imagination, sure to delight every fairy in training!

A Fairy Godmother personal note:The best story I've ever read that explains that "magic" is a matter of perspective and sweet believing. Alice teaches my kind of magic!
