From the SayHola dot com School.......2007-09-23
We have a school called SayHola dot com and we bought this book for our students because of the CD included but there are so many errors on the CD that we can not use it.
Spanish.......2007-09-07
This book came in handy while my daughter was having to write papers in spanish or translate from english to spanish or vice versa
A must-have.......2007-09-03
This book is a necessity for anyone learning Spanish. Conjugating verbs is one of the hardest things to learn. This book is very useful. It has translations and conjugations of verbs listed in alphabetical order. The beginning of the book has information and practice activities to help with verb conjugations. It also comes with a cd rom that has a couple activities to help you learn. They are not bad activities, but they are also not the best learning tool I have ever used. The book is well worth it though.

Good, For Very Early Readers.......2007-06-13
My youngest daughter enjoyed this book and the rest in this series. This is a colorful book with an uncomplicated and engaging story and simple illustrations to capture the eye of little girls. It is for the very young and not challenging. The Rainbow series will interest most young girls and help with their reading skills. However if you are seeking books with more complex storylines and challenging text try Fairy Realm or Fairy Chronicles. Also recommended - the Weather Fairies series by this same author.

Fairy Review.......2006-03-20
My daughter, Rachel, loved these books. They have cute pictures, imaginative descriptions and the whole set of books from Ruby to Violet are cute.
Fairy Wonderland.......2006-03-10
My daughters love Daisy Meadows and the Rainbow Magic series. They can't wait to read her other series with the fairies. These are great chapter books for beginning readers. They capture attention, have a plot, and keep the interest beyond the first book. My daughters couldn't wait to get their hands on this final book in the Rainbow series. Now they can't wait to get their hands on the other series' books! Thank you, Ms. Meadows!

Fantastic Series.......2007-03-20
My daughter loves this series of books - the biggest problem we have is that she won't stop after one chapter. She's 5, so we do most of the reading, she'll read a paragraph or two, but we do that's it for now. It won't be long before she'll be re-reading them herself. She and her sister love playing fairies now, it's been great for her developing her imagination and her creative play has flourished lately.
We started with book 1 of the Rainbow Fairies and are now on the Weather Fairies Series. I highly recommend these books.
Isabel's Mom.......2006-08-25
This is the 6th book in the series of rainbow fairy books. My daughter (almost 6) absolutely loves these books and they are a great introduction to chapter books. She lines them up in order and anxiously awaits the arrival in the next ordered book of the series. It is a nice change for me to read something that entertains me too as I read to her. She delights in having them read to her and as her reading skills emerge, she will be able to enjoy them again when she can read to herself.

Great way to get kids excited about reading!.......2006-03-22
My first grader absolutely fell in love with the Rainbow Fairy series and is now onto the Weather Fairies. Lovely, light stories, they feature young girls (just like her) trying to save fairies and their magical world. These are perfect books for readers beginning chapter books.

Great Book; Great Series.......2006-11-29
Stella the Star Fairy is all in a flutter, trying to put the sparkle into Christmas. Stella looks after all the special Christmas lights - from the overhead illuminations,to the Christmas tree fairy lights, right through to the twinkling stars. Three magic Christmas baubles control all of these elements but now Jack Frost's goblins have stolen them. There's not going to be any Christmas atmosphere and Santa won't even be able to guide his sleigh through the night sky. Stella the Star Fairy needs Rachel and Kirsty's help to get the baubles back.
My daughters love this series!
I got a whole hour to myself each day when they started reading these books!

My daughter and I are reading every one.......2005-12-02
These books are just right for my 6-year old girl. She loves the magic (the 2 human girls can turn into fairies and fly!), the puzzle of finding the color feathers, and also the friendship of the girls and fairies working together. I enjoy reading them too, that's important, they aren't boring to me!
Perfect read-to-me chapter book for 5 yr old girls.......2005-09-12
Fern the Green Fairy is book #4 in a terrific read-to-me chapter book series. I think 4- to 6-year-old girls are the target audience. In the series, two girls vacationing on "Rainspell Island" discover a black pot at the end of a rainbow. Through each book, they find a "rainbow fairy" and return her to the pot. Once all 7 are found, color will return to "Fairyland." A wonderful mix of two girls' determination and imagination.
Book Description
Fairyland is home to the seven Weather Fairies! They use magical feathers to bring all of the weather to Fairyland. But when the feathers disappear, the weather turns wacky. The Weather Fairies must fix it -- fast! In this book, Crystal the Snow Fairy has lost her magic feather. Now it's snowing in summer! Find one feather in each book and fix the weather in Fairyland!

My daughter wants all the books now!.......2007-07-08
My daughter is 9 and has Asperger's syndrome, or high functioning autism. She collects feathers, and the weather is one of her IMPORTANT subjects. She reads fast, and finished this book quickly.... and informed me that she needs to read the rest of them so could I please help her get them right away? The story itself is a little intense because the goblin is actually trying to hit Storm and girls with lightning, but of course it all comes out okay in the end. We will definitely read the other books in the series!
Got My Daughter Interested in Reading Again.......2007-05-07
We've been struggling for a way to get my daughter to read now that she's run out of Junie B. Jones books. The Weather Fairies books have done the trick. She seems to enjoy reading again for the first time in half a year or more.
I have to say I haven't read any of the Weather Fairies myself but I caught my twelve-year-old son reading the series because his sister had obviously liked it. He said he wanted to read more, too.
We love the Rainbow Magic series.......2007-02-06
My soon-to-be 5 year old daughter and I LOVE this series. The stories are simple enough and short enough (about 40 min) to hold her attention as a read aloud, and there are enough illustrations peppered throughout to give her something to look at as I read. Both the stories and the illustrations are delightful. These books have ignited a passion for reading in my daughter, and she is now extremely motivated to read on her own so she doesn't have to wait for me to read them to her. We can hardly wait for the rest of the series to be published in the US. There are also the Jewel Fairies, the Pet Fairies, and the Party Fun Fairies that are only available in the UK right now, but it looks like some of them will be published here this summer. You can be sure we will be pre-ordering them!
We love it!!.......2006-12-23
My seven-year old daughter Clare has read 12 books by Daisy Meadows and we've ordered several more. She especially liked Crystal the Snow Fairy. It has great pictures. Some of her other favorites include: Pearl the Cloud Fairy and Heather the Violet Fairy. What a great series!
Doodle's magic feathers lost!.......2006-10-13
I love this book! I would recommend this book for ages 5 and up. In this book Jack Frost's evil goblins stole Doodle's, the rooster who gives the weather faries their weather feathers so they can control the weather in FairyLand, tail feathers which are the weather feathers! Kirsty and Rachel are best friends, who are friends with the fairies so they can help! Their first mission is in this book when they have to find Crystal the snow fairies weather feather. Read this book to find out more!

We love this whole series!.......2007-10-03
My 6 year old daughter got started on the Rainbow Magic Fairy books about a year ago and has been obsessed every since. These books are perfect for readers that are ready for chapter books. If you are new to these books, you should also check out the Rainbow Faires and the Weather Faires - they are my daughter's favorites!

Book Description
Off Screen is an artistic record of a year-long journey across the Middle East that four young British artists took in 2002-03. Each double-page spread in the book stands as an individual artwork capturing the modern face of Middle Eastern society. These tactile reflections of form and color, layered with Persian and Arabic iconography, are interwoven with diary extracts and ephemera to communicate a kinetic, visually rich, deliberately subjective record and fascinating portrait of cultural identity in the 21st century. AUTHOR BIO: Al Braithwaite, Henry Hemming, Stephen Stapleton, and Georgie Weedon are artists who share a curiosity about the Middle East and a belief in making art "on location."
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful. Sad........2006-03-30
Reminiscent of Dan Eldon, Offscreen is an incredibly moving glimpse into the everyday lives of everyday residents of Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Oman, Syria, Turkey & more.
The artists are collagers, painters, photographers, videographers, writers.
The book is compiled from art/journal pages made over a year spent in the Middle East.
It reveals more than we see in the relatively few & far between snapshots we receive from mainstream media.
After giving away several copies of Offscreen, I have finally gotten a copy which I'm determined to keep!
Customer Reviews:
same story as Joy the Summer Vacation Fairy.......2007-08-04
This is the original, British version of Joy the Summer Vacation Fairy (Scholastic's reprint). Some of the language is a little different (colour instead of color, going inside to have tea instead of going inside for a snack, etc). The fairy is named Summer instead of Joy, but it's the same story otherwise. So, if your daughter is trying to collect all the Rainbow Magic books, this hard to find one may be one you already have.
