Beautiful book

2008-08-01
This is a gorgeous book. The pop-ups are intricate and there are lots of beautiful details. It encourages the reader to look closely to find things. It uses different fonts which is great for children learning to read and write cursive. Would definitely reccommend and buy again.

Simply gorgeous Fairy pop-up book!

I love pop-up books and have been a long-time Robert Sabuda fan. Well, after buying a couple of Cicely Mary Barker's fairy books, I think they are quite wonderful in their own right. In "How To Find Fairies", we have a beautiful pop-up book that allows us an 'intimate' look at fairies and their habitats. As the great video review posted by another reviewer shows, there are altogether 5 big spreads that show us the different habitats of fairies, such as the tree top fairies that are concealed amongst leaves, the forest floor fairies that hide in the hollow of old tree stumps, fairies that make their home in the garden hiding amongst colorful flowers,fairies that conceal themselves amongst the brush by the wayside, and finally fairies that live in the marshlands which also happen to be the abode of the royal couple, Kingcup and Queen of the Meadow.

The video review posted by another reviewer has illustrated the beauty of this book, but the beauty is not just visual. The text enhances the visuals as it gives basic yet useful information about fairies and their habitats. And of course, the last page contains a delightful surprise! Highly recommended for fairy lovers and pop-up enthusiasts of all ages!

The book is all pop-ups that show how the fairies live and hide. My ten year old received this book for her birthday and it's the one gift she didn't want to put down to open up more presents.

This is a beautiful, but somewhat fragile1book -- probably more satisfying for girls than boys. Make sure thr recipient is old enough to handle it without tearing it.

Great book

“Children, the knowledge that I am passing to you is precious and must be carefully guarded…”

After centuries of being hidden from human sight, the Flower Fairies allowed Cicely Mary Barker a glimpse into their enchanted fairy world in Fairyopolis. Now you can continue the adventure with this spectacular new novelty book where every page unlocks the secrets behind the magical places the fairies call home. Five eye-popping spreads include intricate three-dimensional pop-up images of flowers and trees that magically open up to reveal the secret homes of the fairies. Lift-the- flaps, booklets, maps and other ephemera provide interactive fun on every page leading up to a stunning surprise on the final spread.

Most amazing artwork in this book!!! 2008-03-13
I actually bought this book to use it as a background for photo's of my fairy sculpts. Well,when this book came, it literally took my breath away. One, the cover is beautiful, then when you open it and go page by page, you see all the little things. Things that if you don't take your time, you'll miss. If you have a young girl that loves magic and fairies, this is a wonderful, wonderful book. I've honestly never seen a book like this. It is amazing......

I bought it as a gift but glanced through it...I know my fairyloving daughter-in-law is going to love it!

magical fairy book 2008-01-18
I purchased this book for my 6 year old daughter who is currently facinated by the world of fairies and has a wonderful imagination. She has spent hours looking at all the intricate pop-up pictures, lifting flaps and peering into fairy holes. She has also thoroughly enjoyed reading all about garden fairies, although the text is written mostly in script so is not that easy for a child to read alone. It is a special book for magical children (and grown-ups!). On a practical note, I would suggest that this book be purchased for more mature children as it is delicate and easily broken.
