Alice the Fairy
Alice the Fairy | David Shannon
16 posts | 13 read
Caldecott Honor artist and bestselling author David Shannon's warm and funny new picture book introduces Alice, a mischievous little girl with a "No, David" nose for trouble and a magic wand. Alice has a nose for trouble, but luckily she's a fairy--a Temporary Fairy. She has a magic wand, fairy wings, and a blanket, all of which she uses to disappear, to fly, to transform her dad into a horse, and to turn his cookies into her own! There are still a few things Alice needs to learn to become a Permanent Fairy, like how to float her dog on the ceiling and make her clothes put themselves away, but she's working on it--sort of. Here's an endearing, funny story about a girl and her magical imagination, sure to delight every fairy in training!

I loved the Fancy Nancy books growing up and when reading this, I was reminded a lot of them. The way the book is written as well as the illustrations. I would love to read this in an elementary class.

Alice the Fairy by David Shannon, published in 2004. This story is about Alice who is a temporary fairy and wants to become one permanently. The illustrations are very cartoonish and child like, and the text is written in a different way helps with the flow or reading.

This book is very similar to Fancy Nancy. The illustrations and writing remind me a lot of the book. This would be a perfect book for elementary aged children.

Alice the Fairy by David Shannon, Published in 2004. Won the Golden Globe Award. The illustrations and text are very cartoon and child life. Alice is a temporary fairy and wants to become a permeant one. The way that the text is written imperfectly, allows the author to flow with multiple pictures on the page.

I‘m sure you all know this author… not only does David Shannon focus on “David”, here is a little girl he creates named “Alice”. It is a very cute F story for kids who use their imagination! Alice thinks that she is a fairy and shows readers that anything is possible if you just believe! This book would be great for a RA! https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=9959 #UCFLAE3414SP20

DrSpalding Teaching books has helpful resources. Yes this would be a good read aloud but I have also seen it as an excellent storytelling. 5y

David Shannon is such a simple children‘s author, and I love it! My students love reading No David, and whenever i introduce Alice the Fairy, they want to read it again... and again.

Alice is a temporary fairy with a bit of magic in her. Very fun pictures and perfect for PreK through first grade!

madamereadsalot1 We adore this book! I bought it for my own Alice when she was a little bitty and we read it so much the pages are taped up and the cover is in tatters. We still read it, just very gently. 5y

tapgurl David Shannon spoke at our local library and when I asked him if he was going to write any more Alice books he said probably not😕 5y

Day 4 #boardbookbonanza is a book that was read over and over and over, to the point that it practically disintegrated and we no longer have it. It was definitely a family favorite and managed to survive many years and many kids, before falling fully apart.
