In Pixie Hollow, the secret
heart of Never Land, there is going to be a party that every fairy and
sparrow man is invited to. The party preparations are underway and
things are going smoothly. All of the residents are helping in their own
way. The party is for Queen Clarion, who goes by Ree, and is a
celebration called Arrival Day. All are excited to go to the party
except for Vidia. She doesn't live with all of the other fairies and
sparrow men. Vidia prefers to be on her own. She is the fastest of the
fast-flying fairies. While talking with Tinker Bell and Rani, Vidia lets
it be known that she would love to steal Queen Ree's crown. She thinks
it would be quite a fun thing to do. Meanwhile, in Ree's chamber, one of
the queen's helper fairies notices that the crown is missing. A
meeting of all fairies and sparrow men is held. Everyone is quite
shocked when Queen Ree informs them that the crown is missing, for
without the crown, the Arrival Day celebration will have to be put on
hold. It then comes to light what Vidia had said about taking the crown.
Everyone instantly blames her for stealing the crown, even though she
claims that she didn't do it. Queen Ree decides that the culprit will be
banished from Pixie Hollow for the rest of her life. Vidia realizes that
everyone thinks she is guilty and has two days to prove she is innocent.
So, with the help of her friend Prilla, they begin the search for the
missing crown.
Vidia and the Fairy Crown
is another book in the Disney Fairies series and is written by Laura
Driskoll and illustrated by Judith Holmes Clarke. This stand alone book is
also illustrated by the Disney Storybook Artists. This series is
intended for young readers aged 7 to 9.
My daughter is a fairy
fanatic. She loves all kinds of fairies, and some of that has rubbed off
on me. Of course, since I used to work for Disney, I have a place in my
heart for all things that Disney does.
Vidia and the Fairy Crown
is another fantastic book in the Disney Fairy series that contains great
illustrations and a fun story. Vidia is not the most lovable of fairies.
In fact, she seems to have a little bit of an attitude problem. That
doesn't mean that she is bad, though. Far from it. She just prefers to
be on her own. She does have a good friend who sticks by her side
through it. Laura Driscoll does a wonderful job of telling this story
and keeps the pace of the book high. Kids will love following Vidia and
Prilla as they search for the missing crown so they can prove that Vidia
didn't steal it. This book helps teach the lesson that you should not
jump to conclusions without any true evidence. Of course, the artwork by
Judith Holmes Clarke and the Disney Storybook Artists is exquisite.
Overall, Vidia and the Fairy Crown
is another excellent book in a series that promises to be quite
wonderful. I can't wait to read about more fairies. I sure wish I could
head toward the second star to the right and fly straight on till
morning.
I rated this book a 9 out of
10. |
Vidia
and Prilla couldn't believe their ears. Did Nora know were the crown
was? And if she did, then way hadn't she said anything at the Emergency
meeting.
