What a charming book! It features an engaging story, has some fine artwork and is printed with extra touches that respect its reader. It's sure to delight young girls.

The story tells a gentle lesson about honesty. To avoid having to help her friend Nettle with the boring job of shearing caterpillars, the fairy Prilla tells a white lie and says that she likes butterflies better. This leads to a day of herding butterflies, when everything goes wrong.

The best parts of the story, however, don't come from its plot, but its descriptions of the fairies' day-to-day lives. They use caterpillar fuzz for their clothing and bedding. Every morning, they each get a level teacup of fairy dust, which is "shivery and cool" as it settles on their heads and shoulders.

The book is quality production in every way. The cover shows the redheaded fairy with her wings slightly textured and sprinkled with sparkles. The pages have a nice matte feel, and are sprinkled with intricate and delicate color illustrations.

The Disney Fairies series presents an interesting, lovely fantasy world for young girls to imagine. It's not too sappy sweet, since the fairies do make mistakes and and one of them, Vidia, is a real snip.

This is another in the Disney Fairy series. My seven year old loves these books!

This is a great story for teaching youth about the snowball effects of telling lies and how one should tell the truth from the start. My daughters thoroughly enjoyed this book not only because it is about her favorite fairies, but also because of the good story line. As a parent, I was able to transition it into a great lesson in telling the truth as well as teaching the value of learning appropriate measures of when it is okay to helpful and when it is okay to say no when one is overwhelmed.

Prilla and the Butterfly Lie is a great book about Prilla who told a lie about butterflies. If you want to find out how the lie started you will have to read the book. I gave this book 4 stars because it had a little adventure that I enjoyed but it didn't always keep my interest and it took me awhile to read the whole thing. ~stardust

Love the whole collection...Own 'em all and keeping on collecting. Tinker Bell fans should definitely check it out.

I love these books because they help give more about Tinkerbell, my all time favorite disney character. You have to have an open mind when reading these books, as they are a whole different side of what we have come to know about this little sassy fairy. But my niece and I love to read them together, and these books have helped us create a stronger, more unique bond.

This one was cute. I Prilla is she a fairy with the talent of blinking to the clumsies (humans) mainland and playing with child. This talent keeps the fairies alive because it keeps the belief of fairies alive. I wish there was a little more of her using her talent because I think it cute when she plays with the kids. It had a pretty good lesson at the end too.

My girls (3 and 4) LOVE these fairy books - my 4 year old reads them over and over and both love for me to read them out loud!

From my 8 yr old daughter: It's really fun; a lot of wacky action from butterflies. I like it as much as the other Disney Fairy books. It teaches you a lesson about lying.

I have a 4.5 year old and we bought the Prilla doll and gave her the book with the doll. It's a fun book to sit and read a chapter together and so she gets to "know" her doll and she becomes more real. We liked the book so much my daughter gave her friend a copy for Christmas too! It's not an easy reader book, but it's a book that makes sitting and reading together so much fun, these stories are really good!
