Perfect read for a fairy loving young person!
Thank you to Penguin Kids for a free physical book in exchange for my honest review.Fairy Mom and Me is a funny and lighthearted read for the age group that is right before serious middle grade (does that make sense?). Ella is a fairy in waiting and she's getting rather tired of waiting, but she's also learning lots by watching her mom try and learn how to properly do spells. Some of her mom's spells go amazingly well, and other times they go wrong. This creates a fun environment for Ella and her young sibling to grow up in. There hope is one full of laughs, and family unity, all while learning real-life lessons along the way. We see Ella's mom have to make the hard decision of listening to what her husband wants or doing what she can to save something else even if it means not keeping the agreement she made.We also see Ella have to choose between really trying magic for herself before she is supposed to or keeping with her parent's wishes.Overall Fairy Mom and Me is a delightful read. I loved the life lessons that were learned in this story and how they were laid out in a fun, but entertaining way that lets the reader really see both sides of the problem. You get to see why it's okay to sometimes break a promise if it means doing something good for someone else. I think this is a perfect read for a fairy-loving young person in your life!

Super Cute
Ella and her mother return to the spotlight in the second Fairy Mom and Me book, and with all new lessons to learn!As with book one, this has several small stories in it that each deal with a situation that goes a bit haywire and it’s up to Ella and her magic wielding mother to fix it. While I do find these to be a bit formulaic in style and a bit too cutesy, I think it’s a fun little series with a lot of heart. I really wish her mother were a bit more capable in her abilities and a little less impulsive, but I appreciate that she isn’t painted as a perfect person as so many adults are in children’s lit. As an adult, I personally find the parents’ relationship exhausting and frustrating, simply because it seems like neither listens to the other and there is a lot of exasperation coming across. However I think the stories themselves are really cute, and I loved that we got to see more of Ella’s other family like her aunt and grandmother.Ella is a lovely main character. She’s got enough energy to keep up with her mom’s somewhat disastrous ideas and she’s sharp enough to pick up on things in order to help fix those messes. I love that she still looks up to and adores her mother even as her mother is causing a natural disaster in their own home.It also has some incredibly cute illustrations that fit the story and really continue that light heart feel.I think this is a series that will definitely be a hit with the early chapter book readers, who like adorable little stories full of magic and family.I received this in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

A fun read together
Ella Brook knows that she has to wait to become a fairy like her mother. She can't wait to be a fairy to have her own sparkly wings and Computawand. Ella and her mother are put through four different situations where the help of magic would be helpful. However, will Ella learn she doesn't need magic to save the day?I like the book was split up into four small short stories that can be read in a few minutes. The book has a lot of laughs out loud moments when Ella's mom tries to use magic but, makes the situation worse. I found this book to be a great bonding experience when reading together. I liked that the book also included activities in the end that can be done together.

Planning ahead
I enjoy Sophie Kinsella’s adult book, so I bought these books for a special child who is turning 8.
