I’ve always loved Fairies. David and Charlie have as well which is why I’m excited to bring you a children’s book inside our Christmas Gift Guide 25 The Book of Faries by Author: Susie Spikol and Illustrated by Renia Metallinou. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase
Charlie is out of town this week. This is a good thing because if Charlie had seen The Book of Fairies I’m reading this week Charlie would have said The Book of Faries is a girl’s book. If I had gotten Charlie to read the stories and looked at the illustrations Charlie would have learned The Book of Faries is for everyone of all ages who believe in Fairies like I do. Do you?
The illustrations inside The Book of Fairies are amazing. I like how the illustrator was able to bring each Fairy to life and how the Author shares a “How to Find” section for each Fairy to aid in our search for Fairies!
If Charlie was still #Homeschooling, we would have used The Book of Fairies in our #Homeschool reading class. There is so many #teachingmoments in The Book of Faries that families can and will read this book over and over again.
I can’t wait to look for Fairies in our neighborhood and bring them into my home as well thanks to this amazing story. Do you want me to help you get Fairies in your home as well? David liked learning about Earth Fairies Mumskis and Grumpskis. David said he would like to have as his friends. How about you?
I think Charlie would have liked Knockers. I liked the Pixies. My favorite section of The Book of Fairies was the Water Fairies because I love Water. How about you?
The Book of Fairies is broken down into different sections and chapters so it can be read all at once or on different days of the week making The Book of Fairies the perfect gift for all children of all ages. I hope all schools and librarians have The Book of Faries on their shelves.
