Summary:
This story is about the Historical Fiction of Fairies. It describes what fairies looked liked, what powers they held, and where they lived based on different fairy tales.

Personal Reaction:
I liked this book because it told the truth about the fact that fairies are not real, however, it explained what characteristics they had in Historical Fiction books and how they were conjured up.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. I would have the class each conjure up their very own fairy. They could show more draw a picture of their fairy and describe to the class it's importance, what it looks like, where it lives, and what powers it has and what purpose it serves.
2. I would have the class describe or point out their favorite fictitious character and point out what things about that character prove it's not real. show less

Adorable! "Are Fairies Real? Fairies seem to twinkle and shine. Bur are fairies real? Of course not!" The story goes on the tell how fairies are depicted and presented. Just a fun, quick read accompanied by fun illustrations.

The Truth About Fairies is a book that explains that fairies are not real, but then gives the readers facts and tidbits about their characteristics, lifestyle, and personality traits. I found it to be a little too goofy. It's not something I would recommend or read again.

This is a great book to help students learn about bats. Also, there are not a lot of words so students are able to read this book independently.
