Great books! We have been reading these to our kindergartener as bedtime chapter books. She's currently reading at a mid/late 1st grade level. I'm not sure whether she could read these on her own yet (I tend to think the length/complexity might be a bit daunting), but she's been loving having us read them to her.

Because it has taken a LOT of searching for me to figure out exactly which books are in each set (at this point in time, they're not all listed here individually), I thought I'd try to save someone else the trouble:

It appears (based on publication dates) that Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg 'starts' this series. It is NOT included in any of the box sets. I do know that references to this book are mentioned in at least some of the books in the box sets.

Box Set 1:
The Trouble with Tink
Vidia and the Fairy Crown
Beck and the Great Berry Battle
Lily's Pesky Plant

Tales From Pixie Hollow 2:
Rani and the Mermaid Lagoon
Fira and the Full Moon
A Masterpiece for Bess
Prilla and the Butterfly Lie

It also seems that Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand fits between box set #2 and box set #3, at least based on publication dates. I don't know if there are references to it in the later books, or how it truly 'fits' in the series yet - I'll try to remember to update when we've read that far!). It also is not included in any of the sets, but is seperate, just like _Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg_ that kicks things off.

Tales From Pixie Hollow Collection #3 Box Set:
Tink, North of Neverland
Beck Beyond the Sea
Dulcie's Taste of Magic
Silvermist and the Ladybug Curse

Tales From Pixie Hollow Collection #4, coming out August 25, 2009:
Fawn and the Mysterious Trickster
Iridessa, Lost at Sea
Rosetta's Daring Day
Queen Clarion's Secret

Coming 6/1/2010 - Another Gail Carson Levine addition: Fairies and the Quest for Never Land (Disney Fairies)

And, I'm willing to bet that there will be another box set out before too long (early 2011, maybe?) as there are other individual books being released now:
Myka Finds Her Way (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Jan 2010)
Lily in Full Bloom (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (May 2010)
Vidia Meets Her Match (Disney Chapters) (Sept 2010)
Four Clues for Rani (Disney Fairies) (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Jan 2011)

Hope that saves someone some time and effort! (and with the 'edits to add' helps others figure out which order they 'should' go in!)

These books have been done so well. The stories are very cute and teach good lessons. The art is beautiful. My five year old daughter absolutely loves them.

I bought these books for my 4 year old girl because she loves fairies. She enjoys listening to the stories even though there aren't pictures on all of the pages. I think these books are great to transition into more advanced books that have fewer pictures. We love them!

This is a great set of books. I have a 4yr old and she loves to sit at night and read a new chapter. They are wonderful and bring a whole new world to kids. I am very happy with this.

The books are beautiful. The illustrations make the stories come to life. My 5 year old daughter loves them and we have been reading them nightly since we got them.

I bought this book set for my 10 year old daughter. She read all four books in 1 day. she loves them. Now she is bugging me to buy the rest.

My 8 year old daughter received these books as an easter gift and she loves them!! THe illustrations are colorful and beautiful! I recommend any fairy fan to get these books

A lovely set of childrens books. Contain excellent colour illustrations and imaginative stories. A supurb gift.

I purchased all three boxed sets of Pixie Hollow books for my 6 and 4 year old. They are packaged nicely and the books themselves are perfect for reading before bed, a few chapters each night. Their small paperback size is good for easy reading for them as well. The stories are gentle and sweet with a few pictures interspersed throughout the book but not so many that it seems like a glorified picture book. These are definitely chapter books for younger children to read. They look forward to going to bed just so they can get back to them. I work at a library and checked out just one of the Pixie Hollow books and immediately ordered all three sets from Amazon. They are wonderful to own.

I got them for my 5 yr. old and she absolutely loved them. The artwork in them is beautiful. The writing was very good and it actually kept my daughter interested.
