Synopsis
Alice, who claims to be a Temporary Fairy, still has a lot to learn, such as how to make her clothes put themselves away in the closet., The author of the mischievous "David" series (NO, DAVID! and DAVID GETS IN TROUBLE) brings us spirited little Alice, a "Temporary fairy." Dressed in her Temporary fairy garb of tied-on wings and a tiara adorned with sequins ("You have to pass a lot of tests to be a Permanent fairy"), Alice performs impressive magic tricks, like disappearing (turning off the light), transforming her father into a horsie (and his plate of cookies into her plate of cookies), and imagining that she's soaring through the air. She's unable to levitate her dog or her laundry, however, and she takes care to forego broccoli, which has been "poisoned by the evil duchess and should never be eaten." Energetic full-color acrylic paintings accompany the text.

Industry Reviews
"[Alice's] big personality shines forth from both pictures and hand-lettered nattering, and the touch of vulnerability that he adds to her brash self-confidence makes her all the more likeable. Watch out, Olivia."
