Synopsis

An enchanting guide for anyone who’s ever dreamt of being a fairy! Did you know that fairies can be short, small, fat, tall, or thin? And that they are very clever and magical? This offbeat and highly amusing guide describes the essentials for becoming a fairy: a magic wand, flying shoes, an invisibility cloak, glitter, and a regal expression. This book offers masses of practical information. Within these pages, readers will discover everything they need to know about fairy outfits and clothes, equipment and accessories. There’s even detailed information on magic and spells. Young fairies might choose the spell for good luck or the one for making general mischief. And be sure to check out the pages on wands and flying practice, both critical to a successful career as a fairy. You will also find out about fairy godmothers and the code of conduct that fairies must obey.

About this title

Review:

The text's good-humored, confidential delivery gives the information spark.

The author and illustrator have created a book, the uses of which are left up to one's imagination! Recommended.--Denise Weir"Canadian Materials" (10/04/2002)

Have you ever had to answer the question, "Is the Tooth Fairy real?" Imagine You're a Fairy doesn't give authoritative answers to that question. However, it makes a humourous attempt at it! ... This book leads children into imagination not through story, but through questions. "What is a fairy?" and "What do fairies look like?" .... There is also an introduction to different kinds of fairies and mythical creatures...which are described and illustrated in a humourous way. While some of the illustrations of fairies describe them in the typical, traditional ways...the fairies are also portrayed as male, elderly, and of various cultural backgrounds. This book may appeal to children who are intimidated by text.... The reviewer considers this book to be a fun introduction into mythical beings. It could also be used in connection with St. Patrick's Day or Halloween activities. The author and illustrator have created a book, the uses of which are left up to one's imagination! Recommended.--Denise Weir"Canadian Materials" (10/04/2002)

About the Author:

"Magic" Meg Clibbon used to live in the Enchanted Forest, where she taught fledgling fairies, pixies, and elves to read runes and write the magic alphabet. The most important lessons she taught were how to fly on moonbeams and gossamer into the land of dreams. Lucy "Loveheart" Clibbon has a special interest in fairies. She is particularly fascinated by the Enchanted Forest and spends much of her time daydreaming about it. She works mainly in watercolor, collage, stickers, and glitter, but she also uses a little bit of magic and fairy dust.
