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.

This is an absolutely beautiful pop-up book! Each page has huge and exquisitely detailed pop-up's of fairies and flowers. Like another reviewer, I am an adult collector. I also buy pop-up books for the children in the family. This one might be a bit too much for the small fry but would be a great gift for an older child. I was fortunate to see this one in a book store, then I ordered it online for a cheaper price. I'll definitely look for more books by Cicely Mary Barker. Her pop-up books equal Robert Sabuda's.
A treasure for CM Barker fans

Those who own Fairyopolis or the Maggie Bateson fairy pop-up books such as My Fairy Winter Wonderland or My Fairy Garden will treasure this book, too. CM Barker's fairies are hidden in five lush pop-up scenes. The paper engineering is multi-layered and very well crafted. There are surprises from cover to cover!
Amazing artwork!
