Doctor Fairytale is delightful! it’s about a cute little girl who goes around fixing various fairytale characters’ ailments. Eventually, she becomes a bit overworked and needs someone to take care of her. I think kids will like figuring out who each character is as they’re introduced with a simple rhyming verse. The story is cute, but the art is amazing. Each page is just gorgeous! It’s this really great vintage style watercolor and pencil, and it has so many details and things to look at. It would work well as a read aloud and might create interest in reading some of the classic stories that are mentioned. Younger kids will also like looking at it on their own because the art is so adorable.
