Kids Story Books

If you like Disney fairies, then this is a great book for your collection. It is called Disney Fairies: Silvermist and the Ladybug Curse. It is a good entry in Disney's Tinkerbell-related "Pixie Hollow" series. In it, a cheerful, optimistic fairy named Silvermist has her  self-confidence shaken when her friends tell her she's been "cursed" with bad luck because she's come across a rare white ladybug.

A series of clumsy accidents starts to convince Silvermist that the curse is real, and she has to find a way to overcome the jinx. Taken as a girl-power book, the plot works fine, but in the context of the Pixie Hollow reality, the whole that's-just-superstition, you-make-your-own-luck lesson is a little less clear, since in the Pixie Hollow world, magic *is* real... and if magic is real, why not "bad luck," too?

Still, this is an okay book for new readers to delve into -- if your kid has glommed onto the Tinkerbell movie, etc., and wants more of that world, this book is a good episode. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

“These books are classic Disney with little bits of wisdom wrapped around entertaining adventures. Any fan of Disney or just good stories should check out the Disney Fairies series.”—Texas Daily Register

Description

NOTHING RATTLES SILVERMIST. She’s the calmest water-talent fairy around, and as cool as a deep mountain lake. But then an “unlucky” white ladybug lands on Silvermist’s head, and her orderly world goes topsy-turvy.

She’s never been the type of fairy to lose things or have accidents or make mistakes . . . until now.

Silvermist doesn’t believe in bad luck and silly old fairy superstitions. But all her troubles began after she found the white ladybug.

Could the other fairies be right?

Is Silvermist really under a curse?
