Beautiful Photographs

This book was everything I expected it to be. My 4 year old loves it and we used it for inspiration before beginning our fairy house scavenger hunt for her birthday party. All of the kids at the party loved it as well. This book is definitely going to be well used. The best part is that the kids really get to use their imagination and show their appreciation of nature as well. I would suggest it for ages 3 and up. Since there aren't any words, just chapter titles, it's ideal for any child that can't read yet (and I love it as well!). They can just curl up and enjoy the beautiful photographs of fairy houses which have all been made out of natural elements.

Beauty Beyond Words

This book is Fabulous! It took me back to my childhood when I used to build weird little things outdoors using sticks, stones, feathers and anything else I could find. Any creative child will love this book and be able to use it a aspring board to invent stories of their own, or set out to make their own fairy houses in the garden. This is not a "look at once" time book, this is a KEEPER. I should mention that there are no words in this book besides the headings such as "Woodland Fairy Houses", "Beach Fairy Houses", ect.

Creating Memories with your Children

My daughter has always been interested in fairy houses since we first watched Kristen's Fairy House. They are delightful little creations that she would spend hours making in the back yard, or we would go on walks and find natural things for her to use in her designs. She is now 8, and still very much into creating unique homes for the fairies. I feel so lucky to see her whimiscal artistic side bloom. She is even creating seasonal fairy house centerpieces for us to decorate our home with. I will always treasure these times with her, and the magical memories that we are making. Sorry if I am long winded. Getting to the point, this book has GORGEOUS photographs of all kinds of fairy houses, in all seasons. It is an inspiration to behold. My daughter and I love to look at the pictures over and over. The authors brought up a really nice fundraiser that they started by having everyone they knew in their neighborhood make fairy houses. What an interesting and unusual idea! Next house tour to raise money for school, can be fairy houses! This book offers the person that would like to get started making houses, lots of ideas, or is a sweet read for the person that just wants to appreciate little bits of beauty. A nice addition to Kristen's Fairy House Video/DVD, and sweet memories for family times together.
