AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Marigold Fairy and Butterfly are best friends who do everything together, including gardening! They are upset to find pests eating food from their garden, but come up with a plan to keep everyone happy.
With its kind message about turning pests into friends, sharing skills, and fairy magic, this book has a feelgood quality to it. The pictures are vibrant and the images of Marigold Fairy and Butterfly enjoying their favorite activities together are sweet and enchanting. I like the addition of the last page’s “Science Behind the Story” that talks about the science of gardening, marigolds and butterflies in nature.
