Why You Will Enjoy A Fairy in the Dairy
If you read A Fairy in the Dairy to a child, it will tickle your funny bone. The play on dairy words is really fun. ("Excitement churned through Buttermilk Hollow" and "Mooo-ve to Buttermilk Hollow. It's udderly delightful.") You will enjoy this picture book for the writing and for the Norman Rockwell-like illustrations. Laura J. Bryant's illustrations are full-color and large, taking up more room on the page than the words. They too are humorous. I liked this book because it made me feel light-hearted. I hope Fairy in a Dairy will do the same for you.
Synopsis
The people of Buttermilk Hollow folk have an opportunity to get rich quick if they sell their dairy farms to a land developer. That's the mayor's plan. But, there's a fairy in the dairy in Buttermilk Hollow and it's churning with excitement.
Description
Lucy Nolan has created a very clever picture book where ballgowns are made of swiss cheese; a gallon of banana yogurt appears on a pillow under Annie Colby's head and Eddie Ricotta finds Muenster hiding under his bed. In spite of the mayor's unbelief, Buttermilk Hollow does indeed have a fairy in full operation. Who that fairy is is part of the surprise ending.
