ReviewedIt’s the holiday season and Starfall Forest looks even more magical than ever! Kat is looking forward to spending her winter vacation looking after enchanted creatures with Rosie. But Rosie seems to have a new best friend. When they discover a flying horse caught in a trap, Kat is suspicious. Does Rosie’s mysterious new friend have something to do with it?
In this new chapter book series, best friends Cat and Rosie help out at Calico Comfrey’s Veterinary Surgery. But this isn’t just any surgery, Calico Comfrey is a wizard and his vets care for magical creatures. In each of these six volumes, the girls help find and care for the magical creatures who live in the enchanted Starfall forest near their homes. When not helping a unicorn, sea dragon, or baby yeti, among others, Cat and Rosie make new friends, struggle with school work, and work on cultivating their confidence and courage. While not a new concept, this series is fun and well presented, with its own magical system and adorable creatures that will interest young readers who can’t get enough magical stories. VERDICT Recommended for collections where magical animal stories such as “Zoey and Sassafrass” and “Fairy Unicorns” are in demand.
