Come to the Fairies' Ball


by Jane Yolen

I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it! Words that have such rhythm that they sing-out to be voiced aloud! Such pictures - pictures that you want to spend hours devouring, pictures by Gary Lippincott that have the most wonderful surprises and fun as you delve into them! The story starts with an invitation to the Fairy Ball and all the fairies trying to find their best attire. But one fairy, well, her dress is "a-tatter" and she can't go to the ball. A fairy Cinderella if you will . . . and I won't spoil the ending!
