A loveable, relatable and funny book both for parents and children. It´s amazing how much can be read through children book and inspired illustrations!
Cutest book my daughter and I really enjoyed it very much so! It helped teach my daughter a lot about pacifiers and giving them up!
Though we call it a dummy here, this book was great at really sharing the idea of getting our daughter to learn that there is a time when you outgrow your dummy and really need to let it go. She loved the book and we really think it helped her get rid of it! The ideas and tips, at the back of the book, were lifesavers and helped us implement and reach the stage of getting rid of the dreaded dummy. We highly recommend this book!
Some children have a hard time letting go of their pacifier. It’s something some kids get rid of early, and some kids need to be told it’s time to go. This book illustrates a way to get rid of the binky with a story about a fairy who collects them and places them someplace special. In the back there are helpful tips for parents on how to toss the binkies in use at your house.
I love this little colourful picture book!
The story is so heartwarming!
I think I won't get to read another pacifier storybook like this. It's so cute. And yes, parents can actually read out loud to kids if ever they have a problem with their kids having some reluctance to let go of their beloved pacifiers.
I love the writing, bold and distinct.
I love the art, colourful and vibrant.
I love the wholesome presentation.
A good one!
Thank you, author and the Publisher, for the ARC.
Pacita is the binky fairy that helps ease the transition of growing up and giving up your pacifier. You cannot see Pacita, but she is there to give caring words of love and affection. Her job is complete when the child no longer misses their binky.
Reading this with my 5 year old daughter, we enjoyed the colorful illustrations and lovely rhymes. I’m not sure if the book is geared for adults or little ones to help understand why we need to give up our beloved pacifiers. Little children may not thoroughly understand the point of the story. My daughter doesn’t remember using a pacifier, but she enjoyed reading this. I love the advice/tips offered at the end of the book to help parents ease the fears of their little one giving up their treasured soothie. This was a good, helpful read and I think adults and children will enjoy it.
Thank you Netgalley and Beyond the Bridge Communications, LLC for the opportunity to read a copy.
Simple rhyming text with bright colorful illustrations provides parents and caregivers with a great story that will help pave the path for young children to part with their pacifiers which provide comfort for them. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book thanks to NetGalley.
Need Help To Get Your Child to Give Their Pacifier?
This is a story meant to be read to a young child to help them give up a pacifier. Children who rely on their binkies for emotional needs or when tired eventually need to be weaned from their use. This book creates a character who's the pacifier equivalent of the tooth fairy, Pacita. This book explains Pacita’s role and gently encourages the child to give up his or her pacifier. There are end pages in the back just for the parents about how to approach this, including a page from a French clinical psychologist. If you have a child who should release his or her need for a pacifier, this book could help get the ball rolling, explaining it all in magical terms that small children tend to light.
What a wonderful and sweet book to help children give up their pacifiers! The story is fun to read, easy to understand, and comforting. Included at the end is tips for parents on helping their child separate from their pacifier.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a sweet children's book and heartfelt story about growing up and making crucial steps in childhood development, it's incredibly valuable and I really enjoyed reading it.
I really wanted to read this book to my daughter.
She is three years old at the moment and we are hoping to try and wean her off her dummy at some point in the near future when she is ready. She only really had it now at bed just as she falls to sleep and the rest of the time it is in my pocket.
She enjoyed the story but did think that it was a dummy shop (we are in the UK) and not that the fairy was storing them, she took her dummy out a few times as we were reading at bedtime and did say that she would need to give her dummy to the fairy soon as she starts school next year.
A great way to introduce the idea of giving the dummy up, I will read it with a her few more times and see how we go as in no real rush at the moment as it is limited in its use but would be nice to lose it for next year. Definitely a book I will be reading again.
Well written, lovely illustrations and easy to follow and understand – 5 stars from me – very highly recommended!
Pacita the Pacifier Fairy is a charming picture book that does make a few missteps. As a whole, it is still a lovely choice albeit not best nighttime read for the little ones.
A great book for parents and children to share, with a visually appealing cover and useful guide for parents following the story. I’d recommend this for parents of children under 6 years old.
The perfect book for all us parents who have Paci-Lovers! Such a sweet story to ease the end of using a pacifier & we get to meet Pacita the pacifier fairy who will take good good care of our paci's! I loved this story & how at the end we get some pro-tips from the experts on how handle the sensitive subject. Great job on this book! I think it would be a perfect addition to any pediatricians office or children's dental office as a take home gift!
Pacita the Pacifier Fairy is similar to the story of the tooth fairy. She takes children's pacifiers away to a safe place and leaves two letters, the first to help children understand the situation and the second to celebrate success in moving on from the pacifier.
Not crazy about the illustrations, but the rhyming structure is great for kids and the story has a deep compassion for children. For children of this age range, it is important for them to become more aware of feelings, and this book does an excellent job of trying to raise that awareness. The book also helps parents develop approaches to this issue with their children, helping parents to better understand what children are going through when they get upset.
Pacita the Pacifier Fairy provides a gentler way of removing a pacifier from your child's habits than the one I used (I just kept 'losing' her pacifier). The book also provides tips to help you guide your child through the loss of their pacifier.

Great book with nice illustrations for kids on reducing/eliminating the "paci." Also has nice practical tips for parents on how to introduce the idea of reducing/eliminating paci use to their child.
Thank you for the opportunity to review an ARC of Pacita the Pacifier Fairy. All views are my own given in exchange for an early edition of this children's book. They will be posted on Netgalley and Goodreads, and may also be posted on Instagram.
This children's book is a 50/50 split between parental aid and children's read. The aim of the book is to help parents when they want to teach their child to let go of the pacifier. The book tells the story of Pacita the Pacifier Fairy, written in rhyme and beautifully illustrated. According to the book's description, the tips that influence the story are created out of the personal experience of its authors. Moreover, there is a set of tips at the end of the book which parents should find useful in this instance. The fairy character essentially is sort of like a tooth fairy in my opinion. She takes care of pacifiers when the children are ready to give them up. In return, she exchanges a letter for the children which is encouraging and uplifting.
I think this book, while specific in its aim, is one element of an arsenal of tools available for parents when tackling issues such as these while their child develops. I am reading a lot of books like these because my sister is expecting, and I do not have children of my own. I'm branching out to see what children's books have to offer. Now I know that there are books like these -- if circumstances ever arise for my sister or anyone else i know, I can at least refer them to these and see if they have any influence. Thank you!
Pacita the Pacifier Fairy
by Charlotte Attry, Jeremie Febvre, Sophie Lawson
It is a tale of a Pacifier Fairy, who takes away the kid’s pacifiers to a safe place, take care of them. Along with the tell it has some information included at the end of the tale.
The story is nice and so are the illustrations. The language is so simple and lucid. All though it is a fairy tale for small kids it is recommended for their parents as the books, as it has much too serve to the parents than what it has for the kids.
Thanks, Beyond the Bridge Communications LLC and Netgalley for the review copy.
I actually thought this book is a perfect story to get your child to give up their pacifier/dummy. (I am from the UK so will use dummy).
Turning something that can actually be quite heartwrenching for your child, into something quite magical is really quite sweet.
I thought the illustrations were spot on too.
All round a perfect book for children about how to get rid of their dummy!
