PreS-Gr 1–Lily and her fairy friends adore fashion and take great pride in their vine crowns, the flowers in their hair, and their blossom necklaces. When Lily’s human friend Willow expresses a wish to dress like a fairy, the fairies joyfully band together to give her a full makeover: fluttering wings, a delicate flower‑chain necklace, and a whimsical vine crown. The result is a charming transformation and fashion show for fairies and humans alike. Keeping the interest of young readers at heart, this early reader will delight young fairy and fashion enthusiasts. The book excels in design: generous white space, appropriately sized type, and illustrations that are perfectly aligned with the text. The fairies are drawn with a variety of skin tones, lending a subtle, inclusive touch to the narrative. Ample high‑frequency vocabulary is balanced by more challenging words, which are supported by repetition and simple sentence structure. The story itself is linear and lightly plotted, with minimal character growth, but that simplicity may actually be a strength for its intended audience, especially those who love fairies or dress-up tales.
VERDICT A solid addition to any early reader collection, especially those looking for materials on fashion and fairies.
