Rereading children’s books are my favorite. They’re so lighthearted and I love the nostalgia.

This is the third of seven books in the Rainbow Magic Ocean Fairies series by the group of authors who go by the pseudonym Daisy Meadows.

While the stories are basically the same and follow a simple formula, they are entertaining for young girls who are starting to read chapter books and I love that our oldest is just ripping through them.

We both read the books separately and talk about what happens. I'm not a huge fan of them, but each story only takes about 5-10 minutes to read. And these stories feature sea creatures, so I enjoyed this book slightly more than some of the others. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she ended up finishing four of these stories in one day.

The goblins are driving a snow mobile and disturbing the penguins. They also almost made Rachael & Kirsty fall off the icey cliff at the South Pole. L.A.

Fun transitional book for readers beginning to read chapter books.

I really liked this book, because it was really funny when a giant snowball covered the goblins!

Daisy Meadows and her fairies are my childhood. I collected so many in my youth, knowing all the fairies and their importance, and sticking with the two special girls who go to be a part of the magic.
Years ago I had to give my beautiful collection away, now still part of my childhood school where little girls are picking their favourite fairies and playing pretend. It's fun to hear stories from my old teachers telling me how over the years so many students have grabbed these books and fallen in love with the tales of two girls, Jack Frost and the fabulous glittering magic that is the fairies.
On Christmas last year, my sister surprised me with a boxset of these books, but cause you cannot collect these darlings as easily anymore. I was over the moon!
If anyone has a little one who needs a little magic in their life, wants to read and needs a big creation to be hooked on...it is Daisy Meadows!

This book picked up a bit more after the last one--more obstacles and challenges. And the penguins were cute, of course. It's hard to miss when you're writing about penguins. I still wished there was a bit more of a plan needed to get the shell, but the book was enjoyable and was a nice continuation to the series.

A quick, fun and magical simple read for youngsters just starting out on the journey of novel reading

“It’s about penguins and I love penguins. They are so cute. And it’s about a girl and a pet penguin and a fairy and yeah that’s why I like it.” —Ellie, 8

I read this to my 5 year old and she loved it!

Lucy loves this series from the school library! She is reading them all on her own!

[Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This whole series is a good one for early readers. Even boys have checked them out from our library! There are tons in the series too, broken into 'sub series' - ocean fairies, jewel fairies, weather fairies, etc. Of course the first one I read was the Penguin Fairy :) The stories are sweet and simple little adventures, with enough pictures to help support the early readers with the plot.

[Brooke · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book for younger girls (and all other ages ;) ) and a very easy read. At under 100 pages, it is a nice, simple adventure of two girls and fairies. Easy words and pictures too. It explains things too so you don't have to read all the 86 books that come before.

[Nicole Wrightson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book following the search for the couch shell pieces. I loved all the cute little parts about the penguins in the book. It is a good book for little readers who love fairies and animals.

[Vittoria · Rating 5 out of 5]
