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.

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.

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.

I got this book as a gift for someone, unfortunately it wasn't until after the 30 day retutn window that they actually got a chance to read it with thier child and the typeface was all messed up. A manufacturer error but beware...

The songs of the fairies is wonderful. It's classic children's literature. The poems have a delicate charm. The artwork is beautiful.
