The Disney Fairies Collection, Volume 4

January 1, 2008
Gr 1-3-Tinkerbell's pixie friends in Neverland star in these two stories. In A Masterpiece for Bess (Disney, 2006) by Laura Bergen, an artistic fairy is overwhelmed with requests for portraits after she paints a likeness of Tinkerbell that is admired by all. In Prilla and the Butterfly Lie (Disney, 2007) by Kitty Richards, Prilla must help herd prankster butterflies when she lies to get out of helping the caterpillar talent fairies with their work. In the first book, Ashley Albert gives each pixie a distinct voice. Quincy Tyler Bernstine's narration of the second story is more subtle. Youngsters will find these tales delightful.Kelly Vikstrom, Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, MD
