Beck Beyond the Sea

I bought this book on a whim - and my 4 1/2 year old daughter loves it! I thought she might be too young, but she followed along well. We read two chapters a night and finished it in 5 days. We'll be buying more, as I'm getting tired of reading the picture books :-)

This is the fourth Disney Fairies book I've read to my 3 1/2 y/o daughter. She just loves the fairy adventures and learning their names and their talents. When she's older I'm sure she'll enjoy reading them on her own but; for now we read it together. I'm so happy to have discovered these wonderful stories. This book by far has been our favorite adventure. Beck is an Animal Talent fairy which is very Dr Doolittle and brings so much more to a story. She learns alot about life beyond Pixie Hollow and discovers to trust herself and believe in her dreams. So much of Beck's adventure can be translated to any adversities anyone faces in life. I'm sure it's a story we'll discuss for a long time. You won't be dissappointed.

These chapter books are terrific, got them for our 13yr. old Grandaughter, she LOVES them!! Thanks for a GREAT book!!!

I received this order promptly and the book was in great condition. I purchased it for an elementary school in our area. It has been checked out on a regular basis, the kids love the book and would love more like it.

Young girls with vivid imaginations, or just a fondness for animals, will love this charming adventure. Thirty-two delicate watercolor illustrations help raise it to a level above the typical storybook. Teaching a gentle lesson about shame, it focuses on Beck, a curious fairy with a special talent for talking with wildlife. Beck's job is to take care of Mother Dove, the source of all goodness in Pixie Hollow. Beck wants to explore all of Never Land, beyond where fairies roam. But how to fly there? Her fairy wings won't take her far enough. She tries wing extenders, then a tiny sleigh, but neither work. Finally, some special fairy dust from sneaky fairy Vidia does the trick. Traveling with the brilliant Explorer Birds, Beck's adventures include dodging flying ice, being plucked out of ocean by a seagull and riding aboard a rabbit and a fox. Back home, Beck learns to her shame that, since she left Mother Dove unprotected, Vidia stole her magical feathers! With a little help from the animals, Vidia gets her comeuppance and Mother Dove forgives her. The quality presentation includes a lovely cover portrait of Beck that's complete with sparkles on her wings. The book's reading level is 2.7.
