Reviews

This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone. Hairy Legs is about a fairy who hates being one. Many people think fairies are always girls, but this is a fairy with a difference! He is actually a man! He is funny and energetic. It is fun to read this book to a friend, because it is a lot better to have someone to laugh with. Hairy Legs is funny because of the things the fairy has to do. The ending is exciting. I have read it twice and I would read it again. To find out what happens, you will just have to read the book yourself, or with a friend.
