5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for little girls who love and believe in fantasy., November 20, 1999

This review is from: Dear Fairies (Hardcover)

My daughter, age 6, was completely entranced by this story of a girl's correspondence with fairies. She loved the tiny stationery and pencil included in the book, and writes "our" fairies several times a week, asking about their practices and customs, and making and decorating a "fairy mailbox" to protect letters from loss and damage. We've had a lot of fun with it. She's even inspired one of her school friends to make a fairy mailbox and correspond with "her" fairies. Great writing practice for first graders, but more importantly, a charming opportunity for them to indulge in old-fashioned, innocent, young pleasures. No electronic media required: just involvement of a, ahem, fairy scribe.

My children (ages 7 and 9) adore this book, and spend hours writing notes for fairies in the yard! This is a great way to encourage children to write... especially "reluctant" writers! They wanted to thank the author directly, and let her know how special this book is to them!

This review is from: Dear Fairies (Hardcover)

This is a magical book for little girls who believe in fairies. My five-year-old daughter absolutely loves it. There is tiny pink stationary and a special gold pencil for your child to write their own fairy letters. We hide them in the garden and always receive a reply! It's so much fun, but you must be committed to keeping the correspondence going, otherwise face a very disappointed child.
