From the author of the fabulous "No, David!" series of books, here's one for the little girls. Alice is the most adorable, precocious girl, who dresses up as a fairy (and is therefore a "temporary fairy." One has to go to a special school to become a permanent fairy.) I was always amazed by the David books because the author perfectly captures what an active little boy is like (exactly like my little brother, also named David). He did it again this time by perfectly capturing a little girl (like many 2-5 year olds) who hates to eat broccoli and take baths (so she hopes to use her magic wand to turn her bath into strawberry jello.) My 4 year old daughter was in stitches over the content and the amazing illustrations. This book will definitely be high on my Christmas list to give to all of my daughter's friends this year. |

I loved it the first time I read through it and I am still loving reading this to my children after having it for over a year. There hasn't been a week that goes by without my daughter or son requesting "Alice" or other David Shannon books. I love his style which is wonderfully expressive and my children love it for its childlike qualities. If you loved "No David" you'll love "Alice" as much if not more. I would recommend this highly as a gift for any special little one in your life. |

Alice is precocious, creative and confident! And she looks marvelous dressed up as a fairy. Little Alice is the first to admit that she is a "temporary" fairy because you have to go to a special school to become a permanent one - and she hasn't done that yet. Alice plies her magic by showing us how she can fly low and fast, change her dad into a horse and turn cookies meant for her dad into her own. Oh, my, what a beautiful crown she made for dad. But she is always watching out for the "wicked Duchess" (mom) who once locked her up in a room forever (but she got out). Alice the Fairy is a delightful book that all little girls will love. The illustrations are big, colorful and whimsical and ever so inviting. Armchair Interviews says: Alice the Fairy is a must read, must have for those special little ones in your life. |

We are big fans of the "No David" books and picked this one up. My daughter is 4 and can relate to the little girl with a wild imagination who believes she is a fairy! We both laughed at the way she makes herself "disappear" and how she changes the color of her dress. The only thing is that I can't stop my daughter from calling me the "Evil Duchess"! |

I think I may have enjoyed this book even more than my 3 year old! Alice is adorable, and reminded me very much of my daughter. This book is delightfully creative; we have so much fun reading it together. My daughter had most of it memorized by the 4th time we read it, so she must have been rather captivated by it! I highly recommend this book! |

My daughter Alice loves this book, especially because she thinks it was written about her, we love to chase and catch frogs (be careful we learned the hard way toads have poison glands) and usually has her fairy wings on when we are home. We had the wonderful opportunity to go to a book reading and signing with David Shannon. Every little girl will love this magical book about a temporary fairy who makes chocolate chip cookies disappear and likes to take jell-o baths written by a very gracious and talented gentleman. We also picked up a copy of how I became a Pirate for a friend’s son, a very good read for any little boy. |
