101 Fairy Lane

IF: Moon

Aunt Lotti was a silly fairy because she had a huge crush on the moon. Each night she tried to fly higher and higher so that she could recite her opus major, Ode to a Moon. Who knows, perhaps one of these nights she just might make it.

Flying for Fairies: Rule #4

Rule #4: Don't forget to look both ways before take-off.

Lemondrop thought she had the perfect spot to try her first take-off in the little field of flowers. But her friends the ladybug and bee were there hard at work. Maybe she'll find another spot to try flying. Perhaps somewhere higher up?

Flying for Fairies: Rule #3

Rule #3: Check that the wind isn't blowing too hard.

Lemondrop was in such a hurry to start flying that she forgot to heed the third rule. Luckily she was only blown to the next tree. Next time she'll wait for a calm day. Beginners aren't experienced enough for wind maneuvers.

Flying for Fairies: Rule #2

Rule #2: Be sure to have your slippers on!

Lemondrop liked to sit up in the lemon trees to see everything that was happening in her little world. But if she wanted to learn how to fly she'd better get her slippers on.

Reach for the Stars & Stripes!

Lemondrop wishes a Happy 4th of July to all her American friends!
