<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThere was once an old woman who hated chores. \u201cWork! Work! Work! How I hate it! Hate it! Hate it!\u201d One day some fairies show up. They . . . clankety-clankety-clankety \u2014 clean all the dishes. Swishety-swishety-swishety \u2014sweep the house. Flumpety-flumpety-flumpety \u2014 shake out the bedclothes. Clickety-clickety-clickety \u2014 work on all the knitting. But then there is nothing left to do. So, they tear everything apart and start again! Clankety-clankety-clankety, swishety-swishety-swishety . . . . The fairies are driving the old woman crazy! How will she get them to leave? Lively watercolor illustrations add to this Celtic retelling by master storyteller Margaret Read MacDonald. An author\u2019s note is also included.<\/p>\n

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2014 Verified Purchase <\/p>\nShe thinks of herself as a fairy queen. She is thrilled each time I give her one of these books. She can name all of the fairies. Especially love the fact that some of the books progress from her reading level and beyond, so she can pick one up and read it to her little brother. Interest is there as she plays teacher, reading, and actually learning all about sentences and bigger words as she enjoys herself. The true testament to \u201cReading and Learning can be FUN!\u201d<\/p>\n
GoodReads<\/strong><\/p>\nSandee rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorite, toddler-reads <\/p>\n
We liked the story a lot. The illustrations are rich and vibrant and the fairies are so cute. It is folklore so it is expected that cultural influences may make it a little weird for some. It\u2019s a story with a lesson and my toddlers give it a double thumbs up.<\/p>\n
