Magical Fairies (Fantasy Creatures)

Some fairies, like Tinker Bell, are mischievous, but generally good little creatures! In Irish stories, they are often troublemakers too--and can be good or evil. In this fascinating volume, readers explore stories of fairies from around the world. They'll have a chance to compare these tales to more modern pop culture ideas about fairies, from Disney characters to Shakespeare. Full-color images bring these fantasy creatures to life, and fact boxes add even more information or explain complex vocabulary terms. The high-interest content supports knowledge building, a key component of the science of reading.
