Young David, who ran bare-bottomed into the hearts of zillions, has
a sister-or at least a kindred spirit! Unlike her nonverbal
relative, though, she's quite a chatterbox. Introducing herself as
a "Temporary fairy," she proceeds to demonstrate tricks she can
do-magically turning Dad into a horsie, a plateful of Dad's cookies
into her cookies, and, by waving her wand too close to a glass of
juice, a white dress into a red one-and can't-making the dog, or
her strewn clothes, float off the floor. A peg-toothed child
sporting tied-on wings, and a sequined tiara atop blonde curls,
Alice dances through Shannon's blotchy, scribbled domestic scenes.
Her big personality shines forth from both pictures and
hand-lettered nattering, and the touch of vulnerability that he
adds to her brash self-confidence makes her all the more likable.
Watch out, Olivia. (Picture book. 5-7) (Kirkus Reviews)
Caldecott Honor artist and bestselling author David Shannon's warm
and funny new picture book introduces Alice, a mischievous little
girl with a "No, David" nose for trouble and a magic wand.
Alice has a nose for trouble, but luckily she's a fairy--a
Temporary Fairy. She has a magic wand, fairy wings, and a blanket,
all of which she uses to disappear, to fly, to transform her dad
into a horse, and to turn his cookies into her own There are still
a few things Alice needs to learn to become a Permanent Fairy, like
how to float her dog on the ceiling and make her clothes put
themselves away, but she's working on it--sort of. Here's an
endearing, funny story about a girl and her magical imagination,
sure to delight every fairy in training
