Customer Reviews

Great way to introduce young children to verse

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 - in "Flower Fairies of the Winter", the delights of the season as evidenced in nature are brought vividly alive through the descriptive poems and also the gorgeous illustrations of the various fairies. These little books are perfect for little hands, and for reading aloud. It's also a great way to introduce young children to poetry.

Same faires in the "Complete Book of the Flower Faires"

I loved the book but I made the mistake of buying this and all the rest of the seasons, trees and flower fairies books as well as the Complete Book of the Flower Faires". I then realized that all the pictures in the small book were the same as the big one. So I wasted $ with shipping both ways. Oh well live and learn. Beautiful pictures though.

Rich illustrations make even skeptics believe in the fairies

Cicily Mary Barker portrays accurate floral depictions with vibrant imagination. The fairies are endearing and realistic. Her exquisite illustrations and quaint, lovely poems are a joy for readers of all ages. Especially delightful in this edition is the Hollyberry Fairy.
