What do our readers think of Zainab The Squishy Toy Fairy? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the squishy toys, magical adventure and Zainab's role, especially when Rachel and Kirsty help her. Some children find the story a little long or less exciting than other Rainbow Magic adventures.

What does the Pageticker team say about Zainab The Squishy Toy Fairy?

Zainab the Squishy Toy Fairy delivers exactly the sort of bright, bouncy adventure Rainbow Magic fans enjoy, with friendly fairies, troublesome goblins and a wonderfully squishable magical object at its centre. Daisy Meadows keeps the language accessible and the action moving, making this a good choice for newly confident readers who like familiar characters and clear-cut quests. Adults may find the formula a little predictable, but children who love fairies and collectible toys are unlikely to mind.
