Story telling afternoons
8+ as a librarian.
This is a section dedicated for children or anybody who like to listen to stories.
Like "Hora del cuento" would be in Spanish too.

Storybook afternoon
Storybook is often used to describe something idylic -
without further context this is what I would say.

a great afternoon
the expression "(...)de fábula" means Great, fantastic, marvelous, brilliant etc (...)
i.e. un viaje de fábula = a great trip
Pasámos una tarde de fábula = we had a great afternoon together.
Fábula on its own it's tale, but NOT when part of this expression.
Good luck :)

fairytale afternoon
this is a common enough expression, e.g.
"Ravanelli, who had earlier headed against the bar, beat Howie with a well-directed header back across goal but Ellington almost completed a fairytale afternoon"
www.talksport.net/football/results/ facr3/2002/01/06/mc/mr/254341.html
"The preschool and elementary-aged girls around me seemed to be having a blast, and parents seemed to be thrilled with their children's wide-eyed wonder. For them, at least, it was truly a fairytale afternoon."
http://www.newsreview.com/issues/reno/2001-06-21/theater.asp
"Murtagh's fairytale afternoon began slightly disappointingly when the highly-regarded Karasta finished second to Amonita in the Prix Marcel Boussac."
http://www.race-horses.com/news/2000/sep2000.htm
"You and your children are invited to enjoy an exciting and amusing fairytale afternoon in Klosters and Davos."
http://www.klosters.ch/englisch/sommer/familien/kindermaerch...
"With the guestprogramme "Summer active" Klosters offers a wide range of holiday ideas to its visitors. For example: - Breakfast on the farm - Horse-drawn carriage trip with visit to the Novai alp cheese factory - Family horse trekking - Children's fairytale afternoon"
