Good Pictures

Since I can remember I have loved th faerie series and this book is what I wanted most for my birthday. The pictures kept me (and still do) occupide for hours with friends and alone. Me and my friends play a game with it where we open a page and point to the faeries nameing what we think each one is. Here is an examble of what we call the faeries, cute, pretty, and fun. If you have a daughter or if you like faeries, order this book.

Very Subtle, Yet Expressive Poetry....

The drawings are delightful, as are the poems that go with each. The drawings are superb renditions and representative of both the symbolic character and physical attributes of each herb. The reading level is age 4-8, but adults may see the subtleties expressed in the poems. The short stories in the back are ones you will want to read to your children or grandchildren.
