Reviews"If You See A Fairy Ring is stunning! It's not necessarily a book for children, but it is a book that children will enjoy and love to read over and over again. Each poem has a 'magic window' that will wow the reader! The soft and inviting watercolor scenes will draw you in and transport you into the beauty, magic and wonder of the fairy world." "It is simply one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen. Armchair Interviews says: If you love fairies, then If You See A Fairy Ring is a must have. And it makes a charming gift." --Andrea Sisco, Armchair Interviews , October 8, 2008

  • Pages are full of surprises

    This book has some weight to it, and the pages are a darker tone than expected, which made it less "magical", but the slide page images were well made and fun to slide to reveal different images. It is one of those books that almost needs to be put on a table for a child to fully enjoy it instead of trying to hang onto it on their lap. It was a fun read, fun "peek-a-boo", "where are you hiding" type of book.
