Enchanting!

My preschooler loves fairies, and we have been collecting the pop-up books based on Cicely Mary Barker's illustrations. The "Flower Fairies" series of books by Cicely Mary Barker are simply enchanting - the poems are sweet, the illustrations are detailed and gorgeous, and as one reads the poems [I usually read the poems aloud to my daughter as she peruses the pictures], I can honestly say I feel transported to another realm filled with magic, nature and wonder! It's also a great way to introduce young children [especially those who love nature and fairies] to verse. I highly recommend all the books in the series.

Great book!!!

My daughter is collecting all of the Cicely Mary Barker books.We love them.They are great to read and very imaginative.It is hard to believe she wrote these books and did these illustrations so long ago.

Wonderful Addition to Library

Cicely Mary Barker and all of her books are a delightful addition to our library! The poems are beautiful, inviting and educational. The art is magical. It brings you into the piece. I find myself lingering on each page to study each fairy and flower in great detail. My 4 year old loves to hear me read the poems and she enjoys looking at the pictures. She has the coloring book.

The book for true Flower Fairies lovers

I was somewhat disappointed in this book. It contains all of the material from "Flower Fairies of the Spring" and a condensed version of the Cicely Barker biography. The only new material is 2 flower fairies who were apparently cut from the modern edition of "F. F. of the Spring." So, I would recommend this book only for those who collect all CMB books.
