Little girls love fairies and if you are looking for a way to give hope or courage to their interest in reading and writing then providing a selection of books based around fairy themes is a terrifi start.

There are a number of versions of the fairy theme available in books, from the innovative Tinkerbell based Disney Fairies theme to the more established Cicely Mary Barker Flower Fairy books. All books may be enjoyed either by older readers reading alone or through parent reading time and are a wondrous window to both a girl’s imagination, love of the world and their interest in reading.

Tinkerbell was once a simple side-kick to Peter Pan, the hero of James Barrie’s immortal 1904 play and 1911 book. When Disney freed the animated film Peter Pan in 1953 he would have no idea that one day Tinkerbell would be in a movie all her own that spawned sequels and a great deal of books, toys and ornaments. The Disney Fairies line took flight with the release of the Tinkerbell direct to DVD movie in 2008, the introductory of five planned Disney Fairies films.

There are a number of books based around Tinkerbell, Vidia, Lilly, Rani and the rest of the fairies. The basi and most famous was Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg by Gail Carson Levine. The book and it is sequel Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand have sold millions of copies and are commended for older, more convinced readers.

Random House begun freeing a series of littler chapter books beneath the banner of Tales of Pixie Hollow. These books are littler and requiring little effort to read even though still commended for competent readers. Comic company Papercutz is also freeing comic interpretations of the Disney Fairies, in the same vein as their Geronimo Stilton comics.

If you are looking for similar more contemporary interpretations of Fairy culture then try the Rainbow Magic series of books by Daisy Meadows, the Fairy Realm series by Emily Rodda, Nina Fairy Ballerina by Nicola Slater or the Emily Windsnap series of Mermaid books by Liz Kessler.

Moving away from progressed interpretations of the fairy and back to a more established approach, the Flower Fairy series is based on Cicely Mary Barker’s initial Flower Fairy illustrations, stories and rhymes initial published in the early 1920′s. Cicely Mary Barker was to a great extent influenced by Kate Greenaway and her images are of pretty children-like fairies in natural settings.

The publishers have hired contemporary writers to reinterpret the tales of respective flower fairies and while the images and stories are a little more old-worldy than the more recent interpretations by Disney and Co. they offer an earthy balance. The stories all deal with events that occur altogether within the flower fairy world, which is a very earthy, nature-based setting.

Readers learn regarding the seasons and the plants that favour queer growing circumstances and how specific changes in the environs effects other distinct features of that ecosystem. But it is all very subtle and totally within the natural context of the story.

If you prefer the more traditionalisti approach, also try the Fairy Chronicles series by J.H. Sweet. Fairy stories appeal to young girls not only because they are beauteous and dance and sing but also because of an inbuilt female connection with the earth. By fostering a young girls’ love of fairies you may not only aid them connect to the world but likewise heighten their love of reading and writing.

Excellent for a Toddler
By Vanina
This is the 2nd time we buy this item; the first time was for our eldest daugther (who is almost 3 years old right now and she’s been using the bed since she was 18 months old) and now for our youngest daugther, who just turned one year old (she walks since she was 11 months and is able to climb and get down from the bed without any problems)
The girls love these beds! Nice colors, nice graphics, easy to assemble and sturdy enough for young kids. Although the oldest bed looks more resistant that the new one, because the new bed has only one metal tube as a support on the frame under the mattres (covered with a fabric), while the other one has more (and no fabric); but… it’s ok anyway… They are not going to use these beds forever! (I’ll guess the girls can sleep on those beds until they turn 4/5 years old or so)

Bed for a Princess
By Whatsagyrl2do
The bed is actually more sturdy then what I thought it would be. Light weight but sturdy. It was pretty easy to assemble. The rails are a perfect length to keep my little one from falling out. The only downfall is the Fairy pictures are paper stickers. I’m sure she will start to scratch them off. It would have been nice if they were made of a thick plastic that would stick on the frame. Great buy. You won’t be disappointed!

It was very easy to put together and it is durable.
By vgohedotte
The package arrived on time. Nothing was missing. There was no visable damage to the parts. My 3 year-old loves it. She even jumps on it sometimes, which proves it is very durable.
