Evie and the Strawberry Patch Rescue by Stefanie Dahle
/Evie the Strawberry Fairy has a conundrum. The rain is coming down and swamping her strawberry patch. She has to move herself AND her strawberries. With a little help from her friends and some knowledge of the natural world. Evie and her strawberries get moved and back to normal in a jiffy.
This is an adorable book, perfect for those of us who grew up (and still might be growing up) on Strawberry Shortcake. Evie is adorned in a strawberry like dress with ginger curls and freckles. She’s also a little naturalist. She talks about environment, ideal growing conditions, pests and remedies. The only thing that would have absolutely made this book ultimate for me would have been a further reading section in the back about gardens and growing things. Even though it’s not there, the book is still a treasure.
