Evie and the Strawberry Surprise - (Evie the Strawberry Fairy) by Stefanie Dahle (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Third in the series about a bright and determined fairy and her friends who care for the plants and animals of Wildberry Acres.

Evie is a determined, ingenious and bright little Strawberry Fairy who lives in an old teapot. Join Evie and her friends, the flower fairies and creatures of Wildberry Acres, on their magical adventures in this third book in the Evie the Strawberry Fairy series.

Something strange is happening in Wildberry Acres: Evie has lost her magic wand, her strawberries have turned bright blue, and strange noises have been heard coming from Berry Woods. Her friends blame the scary creature who has just moved there, but they're in for a surprise... Can Evie find out the truth and make a new friend at the same time?

Evie's adventures will teach young children about courage and curiosity as she and her friends learn not to be afraid of those who are different. Stefanie Dahle's illustrations are delightfully detailed and full of character and fun.

Review Quotes

'Dahle's illustrations are as cozy as her story, the interiors of these woodland homes snug melds of nature and found human objects... This German import (by way of Scotland) is sweet as tea cakes.'
- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for the Evie the Strawberry Fairy series:

'A home-and-away story without the homecoming resolution typical to children's stories, which enhances rather than undermines its charm. Sweet.'
- Kirkus Reviews

'I could see slowly reading this book with a young child so they can notice all the illustrations that enrich the text.'
