It has been a wonderful trend that we are seeing more books that feature girls in STEM fields. The downside is that almost always these girls are depicted in ways that are considered less "girly." What I love about this book is that is shows you that not only can you be interested in science but you can also wear the pretty clothes, be glittery (or a fairy!) at the same time. We need more books like this. ( )

This book is a great way to introduce children to the scientific method in a fun and accessible way. The story is brought further to life with great illustrations (which often offer their own additional little enhancements). I also really like that the book offers a simple experiment at the back which walks young kids directly through each step in a fun and manageable way. This would be great for teachers or parents with inquisitive, curious kiddos! ( )

I really enjoyed the way this book encourages children to think, the science aspect is quite fun. The thought bubbles on each page distract from the story and vice versa. There is too much written in each thought bubble and it ruins the flow of the book. ( )

Reading this aloud to a class, they loved the science concept and the experimenting. This brought about a little discussion on experiments they have done. ( )

This book is about a fairy, who does not believe in magic, instead believes in science. Esther, wants to prove to the other fairies the power of science.

This is a fun story, which starts introducing scientific concepts (such as hypothesis etc…), best geared for 6+.

I did find however that the message was a bit lost on how science, nature and magic can coexist.

It has beautiful muted illustrations that are not overwhelming, yet is whimsical and imaginative.

Overall a fun story, especially for those children who loves science! ( )
