1-3Fairy Realm series.
Illustrated by
Raoul Vitale.
Jessie's grandmother's house has a door to the Fairy Realm--Jessie goes to ask the mermaids for rain and to help a gnome save the fairy apple trees from extinction. The compact, well-shaped stories are perfectly sized for early readers, and the strong characterizations (and Vitale's exaggeratedly cute, soft-edged black-and-white art) make them attractive.
