Fiona has a big imagination. She loves all imaginary creatures, but right now is focused on fairies. She wants to build a fairy house but all her supplies are lost. At this point her maybe not-so-imaginary friends come to help her. With their help, Fiona is able to build the best fairy house ever! 

"Fiona Builds a Fairy House" is a good partnership between story and illustration. The comic strip like pictures add detail and depth to the written text. Readers will like the imaginary characters come to life, especially the ogre with sticky boogers. Lots of diversity shown in picture of school classmates.
