Mummy Fairy and Me: Unicorn Wishes by Sophie Kinsella
4.0
If you have a transitional young reader in your life, you need the Fairy Mom & Me series in your life. It’s a magical adventure full of childhood exuberance.
“Mom calls me her Fairy in Waiting. I’ll have big sparkly wings and my own beautiful shiny crown, and I’ll be able to do magic just like Mom. I already know what my first spell will be. I’ll wish for a unicorn of my very own.”

There are four stories in this book, all taking us through the adventures of Ella and her fairy mom. And my favorite part is the family activities in the back. With games, craft projects, and lots of space for drawing and using your imagination.
The shorter stories within the book are perfect for the transitioning reader as they can be broken down into shorter reading sessions without losing the overall plot of the book. They all interweave, making it easy for a parent or older sibling to help your reader piece together the stories and practice reading for longer bursts while keeping the narrative intact.
I also love how Kinsella uses today’s technology in her magical world, allowing kids to practice definitions and understanding more mature terminology. All while keeping the stories relatable and full of magic.
"One day I was watching Mom having her magic lesson with Fenella on FairyTube. She was learning about the Rainbow Effect.
The Rainbow Effect is very powerful and mysterious. When there is a rainbow in the sky, fairies have to be careful because their spells are extra strong and very hard to control.
That’s why there’s a Rainbow App on every Computawand. The app tells you when a rainbow is coming. All fairies have them except Granny. She doesn’t like apps or Computawands. She says, “Just look at the sky, dear.”
~ Pages 81-82
In all, this is an adorable book filled with a ton of relatable topics to talk about with the young reader in your life. It will encourage their reading, provide tons of giggles, and launch countless daydreams. I can’t wait to give it to my niece.
