The Very Fairy Princess

PreS-Gr 2—When Geraldine is asked to be a flower girl at her aunt's wedding, the very fairy princess couldn't be more excited. She is ready to add her sparkly touch to every part of the event, including the decorations, the signage, the cake, the rice, her dress, and the walk down the aisle. Not everything goes her way, but "Even a fairy princess has to learn the art of compromise." Tragedy strikes in the form of rain on the big day, but by ceremony time the sun has returned, and Geraldine realizes that love is the right kind of sparkle to make a perfect day. Andrews and Hamilton's chatty text fully embodies Geraldine and her fairy princess ways. As in the two previous books, Davenier's ink and colored pencil illustrations get the people, hues, expressions, and backgrounds just right. This book will be highly anticipated by very fairy princess fans, but reading the previous titles is not necessary to enjoy it.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH
