Description/Notes
Alice, who claims to be a Temporary Fairy, still has a lot to learn, such as how to make her clothes put themselves away in the closet. Alice the Fairy uses her magic wand to change frogs into princes and things like that. She can also make leaves fall from trees and turn oatmeal into cake. Sometimes she can even disappear! Being a fairy is very useful-even if your spells don't always come out right. But best of all, you get to use your imagination! And what could be more fun? David Shannon is the award-winning illustrator of more than twenty books for children, and Alice the Fairy is the ninth book he has also written himself. His many awards include a Caldecott Honor for his beloved No, David!, which was followed by two more best-selling 'David' picture books: David Goes to School. and David Gets in Trouble. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Heidi, their young daughter, Emma, and their West Highland terrier, Fergus. Imaginative 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.
