This book is truly an amazing tool. As a future teacher, I can easily imagine myself using this book as a springboard for my students to create their own fairy tales or fractured fairy tales. The pictures and items listed in this "catalog" are whimsical and fun, making even me want to make a wish and create my own personal story. Although I really think this book could provide a child (and even the best kind of adults...?) long spells of contented perusing, I do not believe that this is a read-aloud book in the typical sense of the word. Buy this book! But buy it so your child can start with this book and create and imagine wonderful things...

My 9-year-old daughter first saw this book at school, and knew she wanted a copy. It's organized like a catalog; she spends time reading each page, flipping through and picking her favorites (favorite house, favorite wings, etc.), and we have lots of fun discussing. A great book for fairy/fairy tale lovers!
