Simple text is paired with drawings-in-progress for clear explanation.

(4) K-3 Draw the Magic Fairy series. "Listen carefully in the forest. The sound of the pink fairy's laughter is carried by the wind." Ignore the saccharine text--each of these books offers incremental, step-by-step directions for drawing fairies and items from their world, including cakes, flowers, animals, accessories, dresses, and musical instruments. The instructions build on simple shapes and should be easily followed by kids with a range of abilities. Review covers these Draw the Magic Fairy titles: Draw the Magic Blue Fairy, Draw the Magic Green Fairy, Draw the Magic Pink Fairy, and Draw the Magic Red Fairy.
