I loved this book. My kids and I read this last night and found it to be totally charming. These are some of the best illustrations I have ever seen in a Kindle children's story. The little fairies and magical creatures are so cute that you want to keep looking at the pictures even when you are done reading the book. I loved the lesson in the story and thought the ending was perfect for a story intended for this age group. My sons and I took turns reading this together and the book was long enough to give us twenty minutes of enjoyment.I particularly liked that this story let the little fairy learn a lesson through her own actions. I think it is important for children to identify with characters that make their own mistakes and learn from them and this book does just that. The character is very cute and my kids could identify with her desire to not go last on everything as they frequently have this argument with each other. Very, very good.I did find one mistake in the book that did not affect our enjoyment, but I did want to point out to the author. At location 77 there is the following sentence "On the other side of the ocean lay the vast, deep blue ocean."Overall, a magical and worthwhile read for children.
