I didn’t enjoy this one quite as much as its predecessors, but it was still a fun, simple read

This story is pretty sweet. I really liked the showdown between the bees and the goblins. I hate to be overly critical of a children’s book but I can’t help but feel like the fairies are pretty useless despite having literal magic powers. It’s honestly a little embarrassing for them.

Saffron the Yellow Fairy is the third book in The Rainbow Fairies series, the first series in the Rainbow Magic books. The Rainbow Fairies are seven sisters, whose magic keeps Fairyland bright and sunny. However, when Jack Frost separates the Rainbow Fairies and hides them on Rainspell Island, Fairyland turns grey and cold. Rachel and Kirsty, two humans visiting Rainspell Island, have promised the King and Queen of Fairyland that they will find the missing Rainbow Fairies and return them home so that they can undo Jack Frost's spell.
In this book, Rachel and Kirsty must find Saffron the Yellow Fairy on Rainspell Island and return her safe to her sisters. On their journey, Rachel, Kirsty and Saffron make a new friend, Queenie, but will they all be able to reach the other Rainbow Fairies?
The Rainbow Magic books are perfect for young girls to introduce them to chapter books. Each story is short (5-10 minutes) with plenty of illustrations. The stories are adventurous and full of magic with special powers and abilities. Although every book follows the same type of story line, the variety in fairies and obstacles is enough to keep young girls interested as they are introduced to a new fairy in each book, hence the titles of the books.
Ideal for: young children aged 5-8 years old, especially girls.
Note: These books are best if read in the correct order.
The Rainbow Magic books are split into different series: the first series is The Rainbow Fairies, the second is The Weather Fairies, then The Party Fairies etc. It is best to read through the series in chronological order as characters and objects reappear in later series that readers won't understand without having read the earlier series first.
Additionally, it is best to read the books in each series in the correct order too as events from previous books are mentioned in later books. However, this isn't crucial. To make sure the series makes sense overall, it would be best to make sure you read the first book first and the last book last. All the books in between could be read in any order.

This book is still not very good, but I can see how it might appeal to young audiences. (this is me revisiting it to see what I can remember)
