Customer Reviews

A tasty treat
Like one of Dulcie's yummy confections, this sparkly fairy story seems sweet and lightweight. When you look deeper, however, there's also a bit of wisdom: an important lesson about jealousy and appreciation.

The plot centers on Dulcie, a dedicated baking fairy who loses her top spot at the bakery while on a forced vacation. The story focuses on her efforts to win back her job and impress the other fairies. At the end, she understands her jealousy towards bossy fairy Ginger, and develops a deep appreciation for the talents of the other fairies living at Pixie Hollow.

Thirty-two delicate watercolor illustrations bring the story to life.

The charming cover includes sparkly pixie dust from Tinker Bell, leaning over to sniff Dulcie's cream horns, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls and other yummilicious goodies. The book's reading level is 2.7.

Rather Disappointing
I was rather disappointed in this story which I know is not the common viewpoint. My 6 year old is reading this story to me and she has pointed out each instance that Dulcie lies or steals to make her magic recipe. This is all true. She does tell fibs when other fairies ask her what she is doing and she does steal the ingredients and takes advantage of other fairies' hard work. My 6 year old even made the comment that she doesn't think the magic should work for someone who lies and steals. It may teach better lessons, I am just sharing the viewpoint of a 6 year old.

Fabulous bedtime story
I have purchased and read almost all of these books with my two girls (6 & 4). We read a chapter a night and the girls can not wait to read the next chapter. We started with The Trouble with Tink and now have one left. Beck and the Great Berry Battle. The stories are well thought out and feature the fairies from the previous books. After each Chapter we talk about what could happen in the next chapter. My six year old sometimes reads the chapters ahead of time becauses she can't wait to find out what happens. All in all a wonderful story that is appropriate for the younger crowd.
