The Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy books are a delight! Each follows a different character’s journey at the school, dealing with issues easily transferrable to a normal child’s school experience. The Disney influence and background setting adds to the magic and fun of these tales. Perfect as an early chapter book.

Rory Spellington begins her first year at the prestigious Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy! She is studying to be a fairy godmother. This is the first in a series. Rory has some trouble in the beginning of her career at Bibbidi Bobbidi but I think she will find her way. This is a great series for 4 to 7-year-olds.

This is an adorable series starter for early chapter book readers -- especially ones who love Disney! I have already given these books to lots of young readers looking for fun chapter books with full color illustrations. The focus on SEL topics is especially valuable.

A fun new series for young chapter book readers. Thus series has interesting characters and world building along with plots full of mystery and magic sprinkled with humor.

Rory and the magical mix-ups.
This is book one in the Bibbidi-Bobbidi academy and it is darling. It is a beginning chapter book on the lines of magic treehouse, except with fairies, and it’s the very first day at school. Roy is different from her classmates because she was raised in the human world so she didn’t go to magic preschool. That means she has a problem with spelling. Not spelling with letters but spelling with her wand. She really tries. Everything comes out just a little off. But practice and experience at school can help her become one of the best fairy godmother‘s. This book was adorable. Boys would like it as well as girls because there are some fairy godfathers. The illustrations are Disney magic on a page. They’re soft and dreamy, but bright and colorful and altogether it just works and I can’t wait to continue the series.

Mai and the tricky transformation.
This is book number two in the Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy and it’s just as magical as book one. This time we follow the character whose motto is more, more, more! She wants everything to be more grand, more big, more sparkly, more everything. So when given the assignment to create the carriage for the ball, a plane cabbage won’t do it. She had more and more and more until she turned her classmate into a unicorn. And no matter what she does she can’t undo her own spell. There’s a lesson in her here for her to learn. Once again, these books are adorable. They’re full of magic as done as only Disney can and they teach a lesson but bring a smile to your face. I am loving this series and can’t wait to see what comes next.

Rory Spellington is in her first year at a prestigious academy for fairy godmothers and fairy godmothers in training. Granting wishes and using magic, however, don't come easily to Rory. Every time she casts a spell, something different happens. Like a wish for socks coming out as rocks or wanting new clothes and end up turning the old clothes blue. In book 1, she has to work with a group of other students to grant a wish, but how can she grant a wish when she can't cast a spell? In book 2, she accidentally turns her classmate into a unicon! Can Rory learn to control her magic? Wil she ever learn that there's more to magic than casting a spell?

The illustrations are colorful, detailed, and bring the text to life. The plot is simple enough for an early chapter book, but the author still does a great job of bringing the characters to life. Fans of Disney, Cinderella, and magical fantasies will want to pick this one up.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy books were adorable children's chapter books. The illustrations are beautiful too and really add to the story.

Very cute!!!!! The art is so good and the story is very endearing. I can easily see my 6 year old really enjoying this one.

I give both of these books 5 stars because they are perfect for those emerging readers who are starting to read chapter books. The illustrations are gorgeous! I want prints so I can frame them. The illustrations and fast paced story will keep young readers actively engaged. Chapters are a great length to read at the end of the day to your class! They end on small cliffhangers so your students will want you to keep reading. Each book was from the viewpoint of a different student at the academy, and I'm excited to see which student will be featured in book number 3. I can see this series being an instant kid favorite.

First of all, the artwork in this book is just stunning. It is fun and colorful with just the right amount of whimsy mixed in that gives you that childish fairy world vibe. Children are just going to love exploring the world of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy. Both Mai and Rory’s stories are just inspirational and so great at showing kids that sometimes things that others might see as flaws don’t always have to be such. More importantly it shows kids that just being themselves and embracing who they are sometimes can help them solve problems in a way they never imagined. Thank you for showing kids being themselves is magical.
Thank you Disney Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title.

Very cute and well written stories about young fairy godmothers-in-training. The conflicts were relatable to human kids, and I loved the creative solutions to their problems.
Fans of Princess in Black, fairy tales, and Disney will love these books.

Imagine that the Disney Princess universe has it's own kind of Hogwarts, where everything smells like pumpkins and fairies gather to train to be Godmothers. If you've ever wanted to know what the classes are like to get that job, then this is the book for you! I am absolutely obsessed with it! I cannot wait to share it will all the little girls who come in to the library looking for books about fairies! It is reminiscent of the Tinker Bell fairy books about Pixie Hollow that I loved as a kid!

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy books by Kallie George is a fun new series about girls training to be fairy-godmothers. The academy’s name comes from the popular Disney Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. The first two books in the series are combined into one. In the first story, Rory and the Magical Mix-ups, Rory experiences issues with magic spelling. In the second story, Mai and the Tricky Transformation, Mai has a magical transformation that does not go well. Will the girls be able to overcome their obstacles and become fairy-godmothers? Read and find out.

Children who enjoy the Grimmtastic Girls series and the Rainbow Magic series will also enjoy this new fun and entertaining early chapter book series. The illustrations which are created by Lorena Alvarez Gomez are very bright and colorful!

Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy, a place aspiring fairy godmothers and the occasional fairy godfather go to train.

Part One: Rory Spellington is nervous about her first day. Her spelling for magic spells just isn't up to snuff and many of her spells go awry. Along the way she learns more than just the correct magic spell - she learns about friendship, happiness, listening to others. Will all this help her become a better fairy godmother?

Part Two: Mai is all about more - more bows, more glitter, more magic. Whoops! some of this magic isn't working the way Mai thought it would. She accidentally turns her friend Tatia in to a magic unicorn when what she was aiming for was a vehicle to transport them to a royal ball. Are her magic skills good enough to turn Tatia back to her regular self?

An early chapter book, probably first-third grades. It might also work for special classes, as there are lots of good picture clues to go with the text.

Two fairy godmothers in training, magic, friendship, and mishaps. This was an absolutely adorable and charming story! The first book follows Rory, a fairy godmother in training who isn’t really good with spells as she begins school and learns that problem solving can be the best method to fixing problems. The second book follows Mai, a fairy godmother in training who’s motto is “more is better” yet when an assignment requires her to do less it becomes a mess. Both of these stories were super cute, the artwork as absolutely adorable and this is just the perfect magical read for young readers!

*Thank you Netgalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide, Disney Press for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

For the intended audience these are cute books. I would place them around K-3 interest level and grade 2-3 reading level. Since it's a short book with excellent illustrations, it will serve the Hi-Lo community into 4th/5th grades if there is still an interest in princesses. I particularly like this series because of the moral lessons.

Book 1 introduces us to Rory who is going to Biddidi Bobbidi Academy to train to be a fairy godmother. She goes in at a disadvantage because she's not good at spelling. There's a double meaning, both in how to spell a word and how to cast a spell. In the end, her messed-up wand spells don't matter, because she is able to discern that a boy really just wants, a friend, which as we know, requires no magic.

Book 2 focuses on Rory's roommate, Mai. Mai always wants to go over-the-top with her spells. When the godparents-in-training are given an assignment for a Cinderella-type ball, Mai bombs it. She and her partner are supposed to make the coach, but Mai keeps embellishing to the point that she turns her partner into a unicorn. She then goes through a serious of common cancellation spells to no avail, until she utilizes the one that comes from the heart.

This is a gorgeously illustrated chapter book - great for 1st grade to 5th grade readers. I absolutely adored the artwork.

Once upon a time, there was Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy, a place aspiring fairy godmothers and the occasional fairy godfather go to train.

In part one, Rory Spellington is apprehensive about her first day. She has her heart set to be a fairy godmother, but her spelling isn't up to par. She mixes up her letters and words and things get out of hand. Like when she wanted to make her suitcase have wings to make it easier to get to the academy, she casts the spell and it starts singing. But not to worry, spelling is important, but so are other things: friendship, happiness, listening, empathy, Read on to find out if Rory passes the star test and gets to stay in the academy... or does she get sent back due to her spelling errors.

In part two, the perfect word to describe Mai is more. More bows. More glitter. More magic. But when tasked to make royal transportation for an upcoming ball, her idea of more gets complicated. Can Mai transform Tatia back from being a magical unicorn?

What I love about this series are the lessons they teach. It's so wholesome and wonderful. Highly recommend for anyone with littles. Like I stated before - the art is delightful.

Perfect for Disney fans who want to introduce their littles to the world of fairy godmothers, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Academy series is a must-read. From fairy godmother candidates who struggle with simple spells to those who have to make every spell extra, this is a beautiful step into the magical world of Disney for young readers. From fun and fanciful illustrations to storylines that promote friendship and diversity. This is a series worth putting on your children's shelves for years.

It is so nice to have engaging beginning chapter books for kids. This is a fun series that I can see becoming very popular. Excited to get it on our shelf.

Thank you NetGalley and Disney Books for gifting me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

These books were absolutely adorable, and I loved every second of them! The illustrations were gorgeous, the stories were really cute, and they both have great messages. Overall, it’s a really fun take on fairy godmothers from fairytales.

The first book centers around Rory and her inability to properly cast magic spells. At first she really doubts herself, but then she’s given an assignment that she’s able to complete without even using spells. Rory teaches kids that you may not be good at something right away, but practicing will make you better, and maybe there’s a different way to do something that works better for you.

The second book centers around Mai and her motto “more” and how everything could use more, more, more. She gets into a bit of trouble because she needs more of everything, but eventually figures out that it’s not always a good thing. Mai teaches kids that more is not always better, and sometimes less is more.
