Puffin Mummy Fairy and Me: Unicorn Wishes

Granddaughter loves them

Bought all 4 mummy fairy books for grand niece. She likes the books very much.

My daughter (6) loves it. very relatable for young girls. written vert sweetly and in a modern style

Two stars for female lead characters in fiction aimed at kids. I know how rare that is. My desperate search for such books leads me to buy drivel like this. I found the plot altogether quite silly, characters don't learn or grow or discover anything very new here. Mother can basically turn herself into a "fairy" who randomly can and cannot do magic depending on the mood of her wand - her fails are the challenges and the successes are the happy endings. That's the whole plot. Is it teaching any morals? Yes - the moral is that mothers are typically bad at cooking, being on time, and remembering basic things like buying spaghetti for an important playdate when the kid's friends come over. The moral is also that such laziness and downright amnesia can be cured but a bunch of wrong spells because in the end something good will randomly happen. Incidentally the Dad is the responsible one, his character gets very little description or development, but is called upon to clean up messes the old fashioned way - like handle a car completely wreaked by bad magic spells or clean up a toddler who rolled around in spaghetti.

Acabo de recibir hoy el libro y no dudo que la historia sea bonita, pero lo he comprado para mi hija de 6 años y se ha llevado una gran decepción cuando ha visto que las ilustraciones eran en blanco y negro, a los niños les encantan los colores y resulta poco atractivo de leer para niños más pequeños. El papel también tiene poca calidad, es muy fino y de color apagado, espero que al menos sea porque es papel reciclado ya que tiene el mismo aspecto.
