What is it About?
Airy Fairy is trying her best to tackle Fairy school and her classes.  Now she has to get her room cleaned, decorate it and think of a present for her teacher.  All with a limited amount of spells, and Airy is not too good with spells.

My Thoughts:
Airy Fairy is essential good fairy who tries her best, gets it wrong and then somehow always gets it right in the end.  Even though she is picked on, messes up her spells and is the clumsiest fairy.

The books are cute and teach children to keep trying and eventually you will get something right even if it does not go as planned.  I am not big fan of the doodle art that is on the cover and in the books.  I guess it is suppose to look childlike and free flowing like Airy Fairy.

They are chapter books so these books are short but sweet and are creative little stories.

My Thoughts: Again, another typical fairy book where we have one bad fairy, one good fairy who is a little clumsy, and the good fairy's friends. I think it is a typical setting for most girl's chapter books. This one did have some differences to it. I liked that it was very detailed in describing what was going on in the story. There seemed to be a lot to tell, but because of the typical typecasting of the characters, it can be a boring read if you've read others like it, for example "Fairy School" by Gail Herman or the "Zoe the Fairy" books
