Enchanting descriptions and images abound in this whimsical guide to discovering fairies. This engaging handbook is delightfully illustrated and includes information on the origin of fairies, how to spot them, where they live, and different types of fairies--such as the giggly fairy, the busy fairy, and the huggy fairy. Activities include a word search, a recipe for fairies, and a riddle.
"A larger-than-life delight sure to trigger appreciation for the fantastic, Fairy Handbook is especially recommended for parents to read aloud and share with young children." Midwest Book Review
