Reader Reviews:
"This book is perfect for the fairy lover, the fairy-tale lover, the magical, mystical lover. The story reads like a song that reminds you of old folksongs that were sung and passed down. The artwork is whimsical and inspires lovely daydreams and imaginative play. Little ones will love reading this and then running outside and pretending they are fairies by the magical river." - Jessica Collaco
​
"The beautiful illustrations in this picture book compliment the catchy, magical story very well. Young girls who love fairies and magic will love the book. A great story to read aloud to little ones. I didn’t know the song the author referred to in the opening dedication, but may well now look it up! I suspect those who know it will be singing the story to the song’s rhythm and music, but the story is still catchy even if you don’t." - Kinsman Bookworm Gang

"My eldest daughter loves "The Green Grass Grows All around," fairies and everything that sparkles. This book is a perfect combination of them all with a nice magical twist." - Amazon Customer
