2.0 out of 5 stars The Cover is Spiderwick..., November 6, 2007
The cover is "Spiderwick".. and that's about it. If you are looking for a compendium of original art (such as Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide or Care and Feeding of Sprites) this is NOT it. The cover has the right feel, the rest falls short.
It is supposed to be a "scrapbook" belonging to Thimbletack - it tries really hard! A few illustrations from the previous works are inserted; the rest is collected scraps from various magazines, books, etc. that relate to fairy lore. Nothing new about the books is presented.
A great companion, perhaps, for the kiddies (and educational regarding folktales), but it doesn't compare to an original work. Almost like the authors are contracting out their work to an artist they never met. Tony DiTerlizzi did indeed design the cover, but that feels like the extent of his contribution. The intricate popouts and pulltabs don't measure up to the magic and excitement so evident in the series and other books.
Younger readers may find this book intriguing for a day or so, but if you are looking for a PERFECT book that keeps them returning for the magic, buy "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious and fun, September 9, 2008
I purchased this for my grandsons, aged 5 and 7. It is lovely having children/grandchildren to be the excuse for one's own sense of fun. So WE are all enjoying The Chronicles. I will be purchasing the rest of the books soon.

I bought this book as a companion to the Chronicles. I particularly enjoyed the surprises in the envelopes and fold-outs. A fun read!
