Come to the Fairies’ Ball by Jane Yolen


Yolen, Jane Come to the Fairies’ Ball, illustrated by Gary Lippincott.  Wordsong (Boyds Mill), 2010.  $17.95.  PICTURE BOOK.  Yolen’s poetry combines with Lippincott’s drawings for a magical trip through the preparations for a wonderful fairy ball.  One poor fairy, however, may be late – or maybe she is just on time.  There is a myriad of details to exclaim over on each page and the text is a nice little twist on a classic fairy tale.  EL – ADVISABLE.
