BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Among the group of fairies attending school together, there is one fairy who does not believe in magic. She believes in science and others think that is odd. When a tree stops growing, she uses her knowledge of science to convince the others of its merits and ends up with new friends and new scientists.

With sparkles on the cover and fairies with bright hair, this book is a delight to look at. The pages are full of illustrated details and the story is a fun exploration of the scientific method. It goes through each step in the scientific method and could easily be used during a science lesson.
