For some reason, Elizabeth grabbed a huge handful of these Rainbow Fairy books (by the suspiciously named Daisy Meadows) and insisted on bringing them home even though they're clearly aimed at girls at least twice her age -- probably three times her age.
She is crazy for them!
One book takes 20-30 minutes to read, consists of five or six chapters of 10-12 pages each, and has illustrations, but not many compared to the books to which Elizabeth is used.
It's quite a franchise. There are seven color fairies (for the famous ROY G BIV colors), sports fairies (not including softball, which makes me wonder if these aren't British), ocean fairies (dolphin, et al.), pet fairies, ad infinitum.
Barb thinks the books are pretty shallow (e.g., there are seven party fairies, including a Fashion Fairy and a Glitter Fairy), but I love them because they are a lot more interesting to read than, say, the ten thousandth reading of Goodnight Moon.
By the way, the above picture was taken by Miss Elizabeth.
