The Girls' Book of Flower Fairies: A Fairy Book for Girls

A beautiful book with exceptional art work. Can't wait for my daughter to start reading it to my 5 year old great granddaughter.

My 4 and 6 year old are obsessed with fairies and I can’t say this book hasn’t made me obsessed as well! The illustrations are absolutely magical, the stories, poems and information is well written and there are also some great project and party ideas as well! Also, as a homeschool parent, this is a fantastic way to get kids recognizing flowers and plants and learning fun facts about them! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by any Cecily Mary Barker fairy books!

this book is just beautiful, from cover to cover (literally). it is nicely bound with gold trimmed pages, and is sure to impress any little girl the moment she sets her eyes on it. inside, the pages are filled with gorgeous, whimsical drawings of fairies and fairy life. it is chock full of stories, poetry, creative ideas, and information. it will be a wonderful addition to any little girl's library. my own daughter, who is about to turn six, received this for christmas and she absolutely loves it. she is not the disney jr/nickleodeon crowd; she was already inclined to nature and fairies, she loves beatrix potter and molly brett, and creative imaginative play. so it was right up her alley. but i also bought this for a 6 year old niece who seemed equally impressed at least by the cover. i think it would be great for any little girl, age 5 to 9. especially in this day and age of TV characters and battery operated toys that kids grow tired of (or break) within a few months, or are just obnoxious to look at; it is nice to find a gift that is simple, beautiful, and inspires all that is so wonderful about that age in girlhood.there is a fair amount to read, so i think as girls learn how to read this will keep them entertained for years past kindergarten. however there is still many, many pictures, so it is appropriate for 5 or 6 year olds too. this book will be a keepsake and treasured by any little girl. it would be a great gift you will be proud to give :)

This book is every inch a 5 star book. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it!There was a tear on the back cover page which somehow also tore the paper covering the inside of the back cover. I would have returned it for another one, but the recipient wouldn't hear of it. It was and is damaged goods, but it still is on display in her living room...a much loved gift which has both of us very happy.The book is getting the 5 star rating, not the condition it arrived in, which was alright save for the tear.

Edges are golden, many beautiful illustrations and beautifully colored. The stories are really charming

This was a most incredibly successful birthday gift for a six year old girl who likes all the girly things and loves, loves, loves, fairies. Did I mention that SHE LOVES FAIRIES! I find that most young girls do.The book is solidly made, voluminous with good text about the lives of fairies of all kinds with illustrations so detailed and precise that an adult could appreciate it. Five stars for fairy lovers.

It is more than I was expecting. Very nice book.

This book was a gift for my 7 year old granddaughter. It was a beautiful book. More fitting for a younger child though, and one who has a fanciful imagination. Also, since it has some craft and gardening ideas it seems like it would be something to be read and done with an adult or older sibling.
