Children's Literature
With her imaginative, deftly crafted verses, Yolen invites us into another world, the magical place where the fairies are having their ball. The king has issued an invitation to both "hovel and hall." This causes "a tizzy, a flap…a pother…" as one and all scramble to locate and assemble their outfits, from boots and crown to spider-web gown. As the other fairies properly attired in their finest set off for the ball in a variety of fascinating conveyances, one poor fairy in a torn dress weeps. Then, inspired by the work ethic of the ants, she sews a dress for herself. Meanwhile the fairies at the ball are dancing away in every conceivable fashion from shimmy and waltz to hop and gavotte. Just as the dancing ends, the forlorn fairy arrives. Although the others berate her for being late, the Prince of the Fairies welcomes her, for a happy fairy-tale ending. Yolen's playfully inventive way with words is matched in Lippincott's detailed and equally imaginative watercolors. Pages are designed in varying areas from vignettes and half-page scenes to a glorious textless double-page grand ballroom with dual staircases filled with costumed fairies all enjoying the orchestra's music and each other's company. These are characters taking their place in the long line of fairy stories and engaging personalities that hold our attention and deserve careful scrutiny. This is great fun to read aloud as well. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz
School Library Journal
Gr 1–4—An enchanting picture book full of whimsy and magic. All the fairies in the woodland are invited by the royal court to the Fairies' Ball, and a tizzy breaks loose as everyone scrambles to pull together dazzling outfits. "Where are my boots?/And where is my crown?/And please tell me,/Where is my spider-web gown?" One fairy, however, sits home forlorn because her dress is too worn to wear to the ball. Luckily, the forest ants band together to encourage her to create one. The latecomer enters, the prince is captivated with her beauty and dances with her all evening. Sweet but expected, the following year, all are invited to the Fairies' Wedding Ball. Lippincott's paintings take the forefront in this book, while Yolen's clever verse adds to the unfolding pictorial drama. While the story line may not be entirely fresh, the illustrations are outstanding.—Adrienne Wilson, Edith Wheeler Memorial Library, Monroe, CT

    Nice Art, Average Kid's Book

    I got this book for my daughter at our local library. The art direction of the book is beautiful. The story of the faeries' ball was average...a mix of any faerie tale and cinderella. Not very original.
