What is it About?

Two human Rachel and Kristy help fairy land retrieve the weather magic back from the evil goblins.

My Thoughts:

I like the idea of the different fairies in the Rainbow Magic Series but every story is just recycled from the first to the last.  I understand that it is a chapter book and kids are just starting to learn reading with these books but there could be more originality besides the names.

There are other chapter books that do not follow patterns like Disney fairy books, The Fairy school book by Gail Herman and others.     

I also don’t think you need to read the books in order because they do tell you what happened in the book before this one.

I just don’t know if I will read another.  I might try one of the super sized ones like Shannon the Ocean Fairy but I am partial to that because the name only and I think that is what grabs you with these books.  The girls see there name or name they know and walla a collection is born.

What it is About?
Two young girls return to the fairy world to help the kitten pet fairy find her pet.

My Thoughts: Having read the very first book in the Rainbow Magic Series Ruby the Red Fairy, I think the series has grown into a better read.  It is now more of a adventure then a watered down learning experience for young children.  Not to say that there is nothing to learn from the books I just feel this has more to treasure. There is much more imagination in this beginning of the pet series.

Still for the younger end of the chapter book levels but pleasant to read.
