[.ca] Fairy Went A Marketing (ISBN 0140547517)

We're on our second book...:
We read our first copy so many times it became extremely worn, especially when the little ones would look at the book themselves. So, we purchased another copy that remains on mom's shelf for safekeeping--one that will be returned to when the kids are grown up and have children of their own. This book appeals to children because of the delightful pictures that are so detailed they draw you into the story itself. Children are naturally drawn to nature, so this short book, which features a different season for each verse and is loaded with close-ups of animals, is particularly attractive to young children. Older children will like just looking at the pictures. I would recommend buying this book just for the illustrations.

Very pleasant:
Very nice story and message but meaning is lost on my 4 year old. The illustrations too are pleasant but not as captivating as I had hoped for. Even at this young age, my daughter is looking for a story with strongly defined characters and some type of climax and resolution. The message is a good one, but punch!

Beautiful Pictures:
This story is an old one as you may know. the Illustrations in this book brings this story to life. I used to read this to my niece and my little sister when they were young. I read it to them so much, I knew it word for word. A lot of the times people would get annoyed with this...but I never got tired of this cute story. I would definately recommend this book!

Beautiful New Pictures for An Old Favorite:
This story of a lovely fairy's marketing day was originally published in 1918. This book's bright detailed pictures are a wonderful glimpse into fairyland. As the fairy indulges herself with thrilling purchases she remembers to treat all creatures with kindness. The fauna and flora in this book are beautifully detailed and the realistic snow-drops, bleeding hearts, trilliums, and thistles make you feel like you too are a-marketing with the fairy.

A master artwork:
If you or your little ones like fairies, get this book. If you or your little ones like lush and detailed art, get this book. If you or your little ones like simple but lovely verse, get this book. Artwork predominates on every page of the book (some one-page and some two-page artworks). Two lines of verse per page or two page artwork. I'd be happy to frame and hang any picture in this book. I never heard of the illustrator Jamichael Henterly before but I sure hope he keeps doing this type of high quality work. Based on this book, I'd buy anything he created sight unseen.
