The Real Fairy Storybook: Stories the fairies tell themselves

Orion Books, 2001

Wonderful and Inventive
Perfect! My 6 year old daughter adores this book, as do I. We've given it several times as gifts and everyone loves it. The illustrations are beautiful, the "morals" to the stories age-appropriate and subtle (and will be much appreciated by parents) and the framing story around the fairy tales themselves is imaginative and funny - buy this book for your 5-8 year old and you'll all be happy.

The Boy Who Could Fly (Magical Children)

Orion Children's Books (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 2001

More than just a kiddy fairytale...
This is a children's book through and through: larger letters (though not as large as those one-sentence-per-page picture books), pages filled with drawings, and simpler words. It's short too; I read it in less than an hour. The plot isn't really that hard to understand; we have an average boy in an average family. Then he meets a particularly fat fairy who grants him one birthday wish: to ...

Gorgeous!
This is one of my five-year-old daughter's favourite books. The classic stories (Cinderella, Snow White, The Princess and the Pea, The Frog Princess and Sleeping Beauty) come up fresh in this retelling but the best thing about this book is the wonderful illustrations. Sally Gardner has an eye for detail -- and a fabulous dress sense! The stories are all set at different times, so the Real ...

The Countess's Calamity (Tales from the Box)

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 2003

Charming and original
This is a charming and original entry in the very cliched group of children's books about dolls and/or miniatures. It is not among the cream of the crop, but still worth reading.

Jostein Gaarder's ~The Little Prince~
When I first picked up this book I was expecting a short and yet very philosophical book on the views that we have on the world in a general sense. Seeing as this book is by Jostein Gaarder I was very surprised when I opened up the book and found that the letters were at least a cm long! But the text doesn't prove the books reading level does it? So I carried on reading in hope of finding ...
