Here's an endearing, funny story about a girl and her magical imagination, sure to delight every fairy in training!

"Effervescent." - Booklist "The pictures dance and occasionally pop right off the pages. An enjoyable romp." - School Library Journal "A sunny (and ever-so-slightly spunky) delight." - Publishers Weekly Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year Southern California Booksellers Association Book Award, "Effervescent." - Booklist "The pictures dance and occasionally pop right off the pages. An enjoyable romp." - School Library Journal "A sunny (and ever-so-slightly spunky) delight." - Publishers Weekly Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the YearSouthern California Booksellers Association Book Award, Horn Book Magazine January 1, 2005 (Preschool, Primary) Alice the Fairy -- a "temporary" fairy with ambitions to become a permanent one -- has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve. She can make cookies disappear, make it dark in her house, and fly fast, but not high, with her wings. (Alice wishes she could avoid poisonous broccoli served by the "wicked duchess" and could take her baths in Jell-O, but her fairy powers are not that strong.) While her teeth are not as pointy and her behavior is not as naughty as her literary cousin, David (No, David!), there is definitely a physical resemblance that child readers will notice immediately: those enormous eyes radiate an unmistakably David-like energy (Alice's rambunctious games get her bouncing right off the page), and strawberry-blond corkscrew curls held in check by a dandy tiara cover a very round head. Readers of the David books might be initially disappointed that Alice is not as rude as he is, but they will enjoy the basic goodness, exuberance, and wild imagination of Shannon's latest character. Copyright 2005 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved. Booklist November 15, 2004 PreS. If Shannon's David is a little devil, Alice is on the angelic side (almost). Using the same oversize format that he did in books such as No, David! (1998), Shannon introduces young Alice, a fairy-in-training dressed up with wings, a wand, and patent leather shoes. Similar to David, she is drawn in doll-like style (though her teeth aren't sharp). Alice talks directly to her audience, informing them what fairies do and how she works her magic. One time my mom made cookies for my dad. So I turned them into mine, she says, as she eyes the plate of cookies; in the next picture the plate is almost empty, and there are crumbs all over Alice's face. A few of the analogies are a stretch (this fairy's life is filled with danger--in the form of broccoli), but kids will find most of the humor right at their level, in terms of both wit and imagination. The pictures are richly colored, some almost effervescent in their playfulness. A meeting between Alice and David would engender even more fun. --Ilene Cooper Copyright 2004 Booklist School Library Journal November 1, 2004 PreS-Gr 1-Donning a fairy costume inspires a little girl's imagination in this droll picture book. Alice speaks for herself, claiming she can fly (not too high but really fast), can change her dad into a horse (for a horsey ride), can make herself disappear (by flicking off the light switch with her wand), and can turn oatmeal into cake by pouring on fairy dust (sugar). There are elements of danger, such as broccoli poisoned by the wicked Duchess (Mom) and baths (fairies hate baths), as well as mischief ("-my mom made cookies for my dad. So I turned them into mine") and mishaps ("Once I accidentally turned my white dress into a red one"). Alice knows that Permanent fairyhood requires a lot of tests, attending Advanced Fairy School, and learning how to "make clothes get up off the floor and- line up in the closet," so she'll "probably be a Temporary fairy forever." With his signature cartoon-style art and childlike lettering, Shannon has created a winsome, exuberant heroine whose wide eyes and toothy smile bring David to mind, though Alice's blond ringlets are all her own. Variety in page and text layout and the use of brilliant color make the pictures dance and occasionally pop right off the pages. An enjoyable romp.-Marie Orlando, Suffolk Cooperative Library System, Bellport, NY Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. Publishers Weekly October 11, 2004 Though one must attend Advanced Fairy School to become a "Permanent fairy," young Alice has earned her stripes as a "Temporary fairy," wielding a wand and a colorful imagination to brighten her days.

    Alice the Fairy by David Shannon (2004)

    I bought this book, because it was recommended by a friend who is a pre-school teacher. She showed me the book, because our two 3-year-old daughters were playing and they'd gotten into the dress-up box and my curly, blonde-haired daughter was running around wearing wings and a cap and my friend thought that my daughter, in present garb, looked like Alice the Fairy. I had to laugh when I saw the book, because she did look like her! That's why I bought the book. Besides that, my friend said that David Shnnon is a very good children's book author. Who is going to argue that with a preschool teacher? Fun story line and, since the kids are mostly doing in real life what Alice is doing in the book they can surely relate. I didn't like when the book made a negative comment about broccoli. ...

    Great humor, fun read

    I love, love, love reading this to my 2 year old. I change Alice's name to hers and she is always captivated by the images. This is her favorite night time read as is mine; I have read it so many times and still find myself chuckling at all of Alice's mishaps and wonderful imagination. I wish I could rate this higher than excellent! This will be read lots of times, get the hardbound copy!

    David Shannon books are so enjoyable

    I purchased this book for my daughter and she and I both love it! The illustrations are so adorable and the book is truly a delight to my daughter. David Shannon books remain some of my favorite to read to my daughter and and some of her favorite to listen to! The pictures are so vivid and the story is so cute and short enough to captivate the attention span of a 2 year old. I highly recommend this and "When the Rain Comes Down".
