This is a very slim non-fiction volume, but it’s an excellent place to start for the young fairy fanatic. It’s sparkly in places and is filled with fanciful illustrations. In addition to providing some very important information fairies, it also can serve as a guide for those looking for fairy-inspired fun. There’s a job list, which of course consists of fun tasks like organizing a midnight ball and making magic fairy bars for a snack. There are some recipes (for the aforementioned fairy bars of course, but also for fairy dust, and for spell casting). A fairy vocabulary page encourages word games and could be used to inspire young authors who are working on their own fairy stories. Best of all, there are fairies of color and even a male fairy shown, so the book at least contains a bit of diversity. Highly recommended for little fairy lovers in Grades 1-3.

Profanity –None.
Death, Violence and Gore – None.
Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking – Leprechauns drink poteen, but I doubt young readers will understand this to be an alcoholic beverage.
