A Practical Guide to Faeries: Book Review

Fantasy fans of all ages (even Moms and Dads) are sure to find A Practical Guide to Faeries by Susan Morris this book comprehensive and thrilling. I like nothing more than to see a child so enthralled with the contents of a book that they can’t keep their nose out of it! This was certainly the case with my eight year old niece and ten year old stepdaughter as they stayed up way past their bedtime devouring the fairy “facts” charmingly woven within the eighty pages of this guide. There just is something about faery lore and legend that inspires that magical, fantastic imagination in children. Truly remarkable, A Practical Guide to Faeries is the ultimate resource for little faerie hunters!

  18. I love to read and now that I have a new grandchild I started reading to her too. She loves the Baby Einstein collection that I bought her at www.clarsbabybaskets.com They didn't have Baby Einstein when my kids were little. I love to find and buy new books, so I like getting reviews on them. Thank you

  19. Thankfully I married into a science fiction loving family, as mine are definitely not! These books look great. I gave my husband the book of wizards and my brother's girlfriend one about dragons. Our nieces are going through the big Tinkerbell/fairy phase, so this would make a great birthday present!
