Review

If you didn't know it, fairies are everywhere. They are riding dragonflies. Sparkle while you sleep. And frolic in the breeze when you play outside. This book even tells you how to make a fairy friend. You must build a very detailed fairy tree house. And be calm, among other things. This is a charming story told in rhyme. The illustrations are painted in watercolor & Photoshop and are done in mostly muted pastel shades. They are quite detailed and depict the text. There is an old fashioned feel to the illustrations. If you are expecting practical advice on how to build a fairy house you are out of luck here. For that consult Tracy Kane's books. But this is simply a lovely, whimsical story about fairies, an ever popular subject. A solid purchase where fairy stories are needed. Pair with Tracy Kane's "Fairy House" for a whimsical fairy themed story time.

Overall Book Score: very good
