These How to Catch A _____ books are so fun! They are bright and colorful. Love the rhyming. Our little one enjoyed listening to How to Catch a Fairy Godmother and loved the pictures!

Thank you for the ARC!

Another entertaining and pleasing addition to the "How To Catch" series. My Elementary School Media Center has Walstead's entire series on our shelves, and they are always in demand. Can't wait to add this latest to our collection.
The Fairy Godmother is playing hard to catch. Through rhyming and appealing language, she sets out to evade her young captors but always in a non-confrontational and patient way. The illustrations are vivid and bold and the story fun. What a treat for young readers!

I received an ARC from Sourcebooks Kids through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Love it, adding to summer purchase list now! We just started adding the How to Catch series to our Library this year. They’ve been so popular they never stay on the shelf. I know this one will follow suit and will be scooped up right away by the students

5/5 - Go get it!

The How to Catch series is a great one for early readers. The story is engaging and the rhyming makes the story flow. It is great that the Fairy Godmother does not get mad at the children trying to catch her but applauds their teamwork and good ideas.

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys, and this is part of the How to Catch series. I have read several of the How to Catch children's books. This was a super cute and fun book to read. My boys really enjoyed this book, and the pictures are super bright and fun which makes the story come to life. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Beautiful illustrations. Very cute book for young readers, they will love the fairy godmother’s journey.

My daughter typically likes these types of books and we own many of this series but this one fell flat for us. It was hard to follow and understand what was going on in the story and the pictures were hard to see via an e-reader. No matter which way I turned it, it was not in a viewable way that worked. A story like this, especially one where the title character is trying to hide and evade, needs the pictures to go with it and that wasn't workable for us.

Really great and colorful illustrations along with a sweet story perfect for your children. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for a chance to read and review this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I adore the illustrations in all of the books in the How to Catch books and this book was no exception. The story was so sweet and cute. This will be a great bed time story to share with children.

Another fun one in the “How to Catch” series! My children love this series and we are always looking to expand our collection. This one did not disappoint. There were several silly attempts to catch the Fairy Godmother which has my young kids giggling, The illustrations clearly show the details in each attempt, which my children love “studying” and analyzing the traps.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Kids for the ARC.

We road tripped to Florida for spring break and I was so happy I had been approved for sixteen new children’s books coming out this year. It helped so much to break up some time with stories! The kids loved them and had so much fun picking out a book from my netgalley app to read. We didn’t read a single book we didn’t like! Tuckers favorite was Elmo’s new book, Kinley loved the fairy godmother book, Dawsyn loved the basketball one, and Briggs adored the animal book. I highly suggest adding all of these to your summer library reading lists for kids. I love children’s books, and these were full of beautiful illustrations, stories, and allowed us to have some great conversations after them. Thank you @netgalley for these advanced copies! @lisakatzenberger @alicewalstead @eringuendelsberger @aimeereid @christiematheson @jackjokinen @sandranickel @janechapman @hudaharajli @fraanushkin @saralauxakin @laurapurdiesalas @katyhudson emilymurrow @zackwilliams 📚📖🚗☀️🏝️🌊👙

Loved the rhyming! This was so fun to read! I enjoyed the diverse characters in the beginning. This book was cute and funny, and had great artwork. Such a fun way to see a new perspective/story of a beloved character - the fairy godmother. Also loved the overall meaning of the book for a younger audience. I would recommended this to young girls who love fairytales.

We absolutely adore the how to catch series in this household. The art and prose is always so fun and engaging for littles. The Fairy Godmother was extra cute and you could tell she was having as much fun with the game of catch me if you can as the kids did. Definitely another win to add to your littles library.

This picture book is about a group of kids trying to catch a tiny Fairy Godmother who has just graduated from Fairy Godmother school. The story and illustrations are hilarious as the kids invent tricky ways to capture her. The conclusion of the book is sure to please all readers.

A cute children’s story! I love this whole series of books as well as my students in my class. Fairy godmother will not disappoint! The art is colorful and I love how it brings in everyday things kids do like taking a selfie.

My seven year old owns this entire story. This was definitely his favorite because it showed the body and face! He loved the selfie at the end!

My household LOVES the How To Catch A books. How To Catch A Fairy Godmother is no exception. They were so excited that a new book was coming and made me read it three times in a row.

The kids spot Fairy Godmother and try to trick her with concerts and selfies, but she's far too smart for that.

Alice and Andy have done a wonderful job, yet again. Beautiful illustrations and a fun short story.

Thank you Netgalley, Alice, Andy, and Sourcebooks for the advanced copy. I can't wait to add the physical copy to our home library!

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. We’re a big fan of the How to Catch books and this one does not disappoint!

How to Catch a Fairy Godmother is the newest picture book in the beloved series. The story is told through pleasing rhyming text and bright, and cheerful illustrations. Children will love the traps set by the children in the story but I did feel like there could have been more. This is a great addition to any child's personal library, a school/classroom and public library.

Thank you to Net Galley, Alice Walstead and Sourcebooks Kids for the opportunity to preview this book. The opinions shared are my own.

I love this series, and my son enjoys it's whimsy. Books like this are made for both parents and child and open up discussions and further learning on the myths and fantastical creatures of our world. You expand my mind and my sons.
