Customer Reviews

terrific tale!

I love this book - its the sweetest Halloween explaination I've ever heard. Before kids are ready for spooks and scares, this can help be a great introduction to dressing up and visiting neighbors. I love the characters and the illustrations - i can't wait for the sequel!

The Story of the Halloween Fairy

This is a wonderful book for any fairy lover. I know this site recommends it for children 4 to 8 years old, however, all ages of fairy lovers will love it. I bought several copies for friends my own age and over and I am nearly retirement age. Both the author and illustrator do a wonderful job. You will do yourself a favor by buying a copy to add to your fairy book collection.

Delightfully fresh tribute to all who enjoy this time of year

As the fun of summer wears off, The Story of the Halloween Fairy brings children an introduction to the fall traditions of color, make believe and the spirit of giving which starts with preparation for Halloween, moves into the spirit of Thanksgiving and cumulates with the traditional religious holidays of Christmas and Hanukah. This story weaves the spirit of giving into the Halloween tradition and away from the bounty of a bag full of candy...and the resulting belly ache!

We loved it!

This is a wonderful story to share with your kids! It was nice to read a Halloween story to my daughter that wasn't scary. This story gave background information on Halloween that had to do with friends and sharing, not death or ghosts. The pictures were unbelievable and the story left us wanting more. I hope more stories about Eve are going to follow this one!

Finally a halloween story for children!!!

I have 3 small children, and 2 on the way. I read the story to my 6 year old and my three year old sons and they were entranced. It is remarkable how much they liked the story. When that is coupled with the amazing illustration it is sure to please children at any age. I look forward to reading it to my 10 month old and the twins when they are ready. Hats off to the Johnson's for a spectacular piece of work. The illustrations alone are worth the price. Like the other reviews we too recommend it for all ages and it truly is a book that will become a Hallow's Eve tradition.
