What the Reviewers are saying .....

“Kane’s ethereal drawings are simply amazing, glowing with a Monet-like light of their own …… A must for children’s collections”
Today’s Librarian
Today’s Librarian Editors note: “Not only did the reviewer love it, but her child (in second grade) adored it and did a book report/fairy-house drawing for his class – and he asked if he could have the book for his own collection!”

“The colorful pictures and the magic of the fairies had my daughter entranced, but what makes this a winner is the fact that kids immediately want to go outside and build their own fairy house.”
Children's Book Sense 76 Picks, American Booksellers Association

“Children will be eager to build a fairy house .… Kane’s fanciful illustrations are colorful … and add to the child’s dreamlike trip”
School Library Journal

“Building fairy houses can be done anywhere … All it takes is a little imagination”
Antoinette Botsford, The NAPRA ReView

"The activity transforms a backyard, beach or woods into a gold mine for fairy house materials. It also offers kids creative, quiet time with nature and appreciation for its treasures."

The Architecture of Imagination
As host of Hollywood Squares and America's Funniest Videos I could be accused of biting the hand that feeds me, but I've got a great reason to turn off the television. "Fairy Houses" is a wonderful way to get your kids to engage their imagination and explore the wonder of their own backyards. Both my daughters have built their own fairy houses using the suggestions in the book. Tracy Kane's imaginative story and beautiful illustrations provide a perfect bedtime story and next day adventure.
