Alice the Fairy by David Shannon
Alice the Fairy is the newest book by David Shannon who is best known for his No, David series of books. This time he has chosen a female protagonist with equally humorous results.
Alice explains to the reader all the skills she has as a "temporary fairy." She can fly, she can turn her father into a horse, she can make it dark, and she can do many other things. Mainly Alice has a very strong imagination. Of course as you would expect in a David Shannon book, Alice's fairy skills also get her in trouble frequently with the Duchess (Mom).
This is a fun book that made me laugh. Alice the Fairy will be enjoyed by lots of young girls (and their parents) for many years. Also as is usual for a David Shannon book the illustrations really make the story and keep things moving along.
Ages: 3-6
Keywords: Girls, Humorous Stories, Magic, Fairy Princess, Mischief, Imagination
Lesson Plans: Creative Writing: If you were a fairy what magic skill would you most want? Why?

A fun craft idea would be to make your very own crown. What would your crown look like? Children use their imagination and creativiy to express themselves artistically.
