I'm looking to pick up a few new fairy titles for our 5 and 9 year old. We already have a shelf of fairytales, but few non-fairytale fairy books. Please share your favorite titles.

I think this one is the best for traditional flower fairies:
Fairyopolis
Also this one was really clever Fairie-alityand is done like a fairy fashion show-too cute!
Those would be great for ages 5 and 9.
The 9 yo might enjoy the Spiderwick books. There are 5 in the series
Spiderwick series
and there are the Field Guide and the Notebook which has some neat creative writing activities and such.
We did a very fun unit on fairies recently. I think it was one of our very favorite units, other than Pirates.
We also made fairy houses
and flower fairies
Here is a link to the notebook ds(10) made from that unit.
Fairy notebook
Hope that helps!
