The perils of being popular
"Pixie Hollow: A Masterpiece for Bess"
Written by Lisa Bergen
Illustrated by The Disney Storybook Artists
(Random House, 2006)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An early entry in the Tinker Bell-related "Pixie Hollow" series. This volume features Bess, an "art-talent" fairy who finds herself in the center of a whirlwind of activity as (almost) all the other fairies ask her to paint their pictures. Bess is suddenly very popular and finds that she enjoys the attention, but also finds it tiring, especially when the other fairies become overly demanding as well as critical of her work (in a "you made me look fat!" kind of way.) Bess finally has to learn to set limits, and also finds out that doing so can sometimes weed out a few fairweather friends. An okay book, with the usual Pixie Hollow messages of individual strength balanced by social obligations. Not great literature, but a good page-turner for young readers. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

Very Cute!
I thought this really captured the artist in me. I don't know if I would say Bess is my favorite fairy thou but I see a lot of myself in her she's messy, and likes to paint when wants to. I read this fairly quickly it is somewhere in the mid range for a chapter book not too easy and not to hard but definitely an enjoyable story

Imagination central!
My nine year old daughter loves fairy books about Tinkerbell and her friends. She absolutely devours them as soon as I get them. What a boost for her imagination!
