Tink, North of Never Land (Disney Fairies)

I love these books because they help give more about Tinkerbell, my all time favorite disney character. You have to have an open mind when reading these books, as they are a whole different side of what we have come to know about this little sassy fairy. But my niece and I love to read them together, and these books have helped us create a stronger, more unique bond.

I loved the disney fairy chapter books. My daughter is six but she can read some of the pages because they have a lot of words that she already knows. She loves to take picture walks before we read the next chapter. The illustrations are beautiful.

We own all of this series! Started reading them when my daughter was 4 (she just turned 5 now), and they are age appropriate. Not too scary and always a happy ending. One book only takes us about 4-5 nights worth of reading together. The longer ones are good too "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" and "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand", but they are a little bit scarrier than the short books (more appropriate for ages 5-7 I would think).

In this story Tink is working on a compass while Terrence is hanging right over her he accedentally knocks over her first bowl she ever fixed and she gets so angry at him. Later when it is time for stories Terrence usually sits with her and he didn't. That night she went on a daring quest to find something to make it up to him. She meets up with her old friends Peter and the Lost Boys! She returns home safely and learns a lesson.

Focused on the concept of regret, this lovely story involves Tinker Bell and her friend Terence, the sparrow man. Terence has a crush on the fairy, and Tink likes him, too. But one morning when Terence tries to help Tink, he ends up breaking her favorite bowl. She blows up at him and tells him to leave her alone. Stung, he leaves, vowing to never bother Tinker Bell again. The water fairy Silvermist cheers Terence up by showing him how to water-skate with special lily-pad-skimmer sandals. Tink sees the couple on the water and waves, but Terence keeps his promise and doesn't respond. All day Tink finds herself missing Terence, and feeling lonely, and angry, when she sees him with the other girls. To win him back, Tink heads north of Never Land to find him a special gift: some rare pixie dust. She travels in a fairy version of a hot-air balloon. Her adventures include encounters with a possum, mermaids and a tiger. At the end, Tink tells Terence she regrets yelling at him, and the two make up. Like the other books in this series, "Tink, North of Never Land" is illustrated with dainty watercolors, and the front cover features a portrait of its heroine sprinkled with sparkly fairy dust. By the way, the reading level of this book is 2.7.
