I really enjoyed this book. Even though it is a children's book I still greatly enjoyed the book, and it's illustrations. The story is great for all children, in fact it is one of my three-year-old sons favorites. The story of a little girl who is sent a magic flute that enables her to fly is one that captivates the hearts and imaginations of all children young, and old.

This is a wonderful story with wonderful illustrations. However, don't be fooled by the author's name, it isn't for small children. It is for people who's thought-processes have progressed into the upper elementary level. I didn't catalog it in the primary section of my library, I cataloged it in the fiction area.

My daughter got this book on her 5th Birthday from a friend and it very quickly became a favorite. That was April 1991 she is now 23 years old. We loved it so much that it became my email name ( moonflute@) my family reefers to me as moonflute as a pet name. My husband had a beautiful 14k gold moon neckless made for me w/a flute attached inset in the holes of the flute are my birthstone rose turmaline it turned out beautiful and I were it on a long gold chain with sweaters. People always admire it and then have to hear the story about how it came to be. I now have two granddaughters and they too have the book and they call me Nana-Moon. I'm 52yrs. now and moonflute is still my email. "Crazy" I know but I can't thank of a better nick name my family has made it stick:)
So we are fans of this book:)

I read this to my seven-year-old moments ago. The illustration was beautiful, but the writing I found pompously and overly flowery for a children's book. My daughter summed it up perfectly when we had finally trudged through it, "That was SO boring. Please, never read it again!"
