A seek and find book.

Das Mädchen-Märchen-Thema wurde schön umgesetzt. Das Farbschema ist im Gegensatz zum Wimmelbuch "Wo ist die goldene Krone?" auch nicht so rosa-lastig wie befürchtet. Finde ich ganz gut. ( )

50 months - O likes search and find type books so we grabbed this one because it went well with The Fairy Bell Sister novels she was reading with Daddy and the fairy house we were making. Certainly not a bed time reading book but entertaining for five or ten minutes of quiet time. ( )

Young readers will have fun spotting the fairies in this Usborne item. ( )

She doesn't need to be able to read to know what things she's looking for, and the items aren't quite as well hidden as in the "I Spy" books, which makes this very appropriate for the younger crowd.

The illustrations are cute as well.

One thing that does stand out is that all the fairies are white. Well, no. Most of them are plainly caucasian, and some of them are maybe kinda tanned. They have all the range of natural hair colors and then some (but not, I note, the range of hair textures, though I appreciate that that could be harder to illustrate), and they have a wide range of wing and clothing colors and styles - it would have been trivial to draw some of them as non-white... or at least color some of them a different shade than peach.

My niece, I think, isn't old enough yet to realize that none of the fairies in this book look like her (even beyond the fact that she doesn't have wings, of course!), but... it would have been nice to see the effort made.

It's still a good book, I'm just disappointed because this oversight is very obvious and it would have been so easy to fix. ( )
