Amazon.com Review
Children enamored with the notion of fairies will drink up Kathleen and Michael Hague's lush picture book like nectar. When a mother is asked by her child about how fairies spend their days and nights, she embarks on a dreamy account of these mysterious, magical creatures. For starters, fairies hang the stars in the sky each evening "so every child will have a night-light." They also teach birds to sing, paint the wings of butterflies, comb mermaids' hair, and sleep "on leafy beds in secret gardens." The wondering child falls asleep to these poetic musings, welcomed to dreamland by the fairies. Lyrical colored-pencil and watercolor illustrations, filled with elaborate detail, accompany this gentle bedtime story. Readers are challenged to find and count all 321 winged fairies in the book, and to look for the red-capped fairy hiding on each page. The author-illustrator team has paired up on several bestselling titles, including Ten Little Bears and Alphabears. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
"Hop into bed," said Mother, "and I'll tell you what I know about fairies." So begins a whimsical journey through the magic and mystery of the fairy world, where marvelous winged creatures paint rainbows, teach birds to sing, hang stars in the evening sky, and welcome children to dreamland.

visually stunning October 6, 2008
We really love this one for both content and illustrations. The content really meets the child reader in her world of imagination, for example the fairies painting the wings of the butterflies, sleeping on leafy garden beds, or reading bedtime stories to animals. Every page is a treat. Magical and very special story, I am so glad we found this book.

My three-year-old was spellbound while I read this to her. She told me that she wanted to go see the fairies. The illustrations are amazing and very detailed. Very appealing for all ages. A must have for fairy fans.

Wonderful illustrations.

I bought this book for my grandchildren who are really inyo fairies right now -- not necessarily Disney-type but the "real" ones.
This book was so beautiful and the pictures so intricate that the kids love to play "find it" as well as hear the story. In fact, I think the grown-ups like the narrative more than the children, but that's okay, too.
Adults who are not comfortable with the fantasy of fairies probably would object to the credit given to them for creations (turning leaves colors, etc.) I thought it was lovely and simply reminded the children that it was a story.

I gave this book 4 stars and not 5 because I think the story is a bit lacking. The illustrations on the other hand are stunning and I highly recommend this book.
