Dash!; Fantastic Fairs Books in Order
4 books by Julie Murray. Reading level: Grades 3–3.2. Lower Grades (Ages 5–8).

Dash!; Fantastic Fairs (4 books by Julie Murray) lands at reading level Grades 3–3.2, with average content intensity 1/5. Intensity stays consistent across the series — a kid who can handle the first book can generally handle the rest.
