Twinkle’s Fairy Pet Day, by Katharine Holabird

Okay, so I couldn’t quite bring myself to give it an official recommendation, because it’s not like it has anything especially literary to make it stand out. It’s your basic story of girls who get the wishes for pets granted, and then the main character worries that her pet isn’t special enough to win a prize at pet day, but then he surprises her and she decides she loves him no matter what. The story line itself practically mirrors another story I read a few minutes before this one. That being said, this book does have really appealing illustrations featuring lots of big-eyed fairies waving magic wands and flowers and sparkles and PINK, so it will certainly be a popular choice with its target audience.
