 This is becoming a common format... July 29, 2008
I think this format with all of the extras, pull-outs, gizmos, and what's-its is here now for good in children's books. The first one my daughter really got into was the Dragonology book. It didn't even read the storyline when I picked this one out, but I figured that she would like it well enough because of all of the do-dads and gee-gaws inside. As it turned out, the storyline is the same as a DVD we had picked up recently that she watches over and over again, so the book was a major hit with her.
I completely agree that the cursive handwritten is difficult to decipher, but that was something my daughter actually liked about the book. She's been teaching herself calligraphy, so she liked the handwritten text. This is not a storybook to be quickly skimmed through. The author/artists clearly intended for this to be a book that girls would spend time coming back to.
 A book to be read to/shared with a child. July 14, 2008
I keep this book at my house for ongoing story telling. A little too adult for my 7 yr. old grand daughter. So my hope is that over the years we both will appriciate this book. I have a fairy garden/door to go with the book. We have lots of fun with the both of them.
Like a dream July 14, 2008
The book is beautiful, full of details, it's an invitation for dreaming.
My child was astonished about the book and all the litttle things that has inside. Good recomendation for girls.
Fairyopolis June 25, 2008
It is a really nice book, for fans of all things fairy! The notes and scrapbook-like features such as photos, letters, and pull-out surprises make it a fun experience.
A charming way to spend rainy afternoons April 8, 2008
I bought this for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it. She pores over it and loves the extra details tucked in it. The only caution that I would add is that the handwriting is old-fashioned and in cursive and is therefore somewhat difficult for new readers to read but she sure loves trying.
