Mae's not ready for a book this length yet, but I can't wait to read it to her once she is. Cronin's story of an ordinary girl who takes the time to learn extraordinary things - while getting pretty messy in the process - is right up her alley. Loved the David Small illustrations!

A mud fairy! A soft girl child! Gaining courage! Life lessons! This book is so cute, and I love it a lot.

What a beautiful story about fulfilling your destiny, about becoming more than just want people expect of you. Everyone is capable of so much more than we realize and this story tells it in such an adorable manner. The characters are likeable, the illustrations are fun. A good read aloud.

JP is starting to come home with library or other “assigned” story books for home reading in K. This was the first one. I’m not yet sure how it works and if he picked it out or if there is a set rotation. I think at first he was annoyed at “having” to read a specific boom rather than our regular process where he gets to choose, but he quickly got into the story and seemed to enjoy it. He even figured out the solution to the problem contained therein a few pages before it was officially revealed.

Cute. Perhaps a touch heavy- handed with the message....

I originally rated this four stars, but I don't remember why I liked it. The book is so unnecessarily wordy that I found myself skimming, and I don't like how the font sizes vary wildly for different words. The story itself is fine, but it drags on too long, and it didn't do anything for me this time around. I almost wonder if the reason why I rated it so high to begin with is just because I was pleasantly surprised that there was no male-bashing in a book about female empowerment, but that is not a sufficient reason to give a book four stars.
