The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Fairies

My daughter loves Tinkerbell. I was looking around the library for a fairy book that was appropriate for preschoolers, but wasn't Disney related. The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Fairies by Ammi-Joan Paquette is a perfect picture book for the Fairy Lover in your life. Although you cannot tell from the so-so cover illustration, this book is a mix of art and photography. The story invites kids to have a backyard adventure searching for fairies who might be right outside your front door - hiding in tulips or in trees. A great story to read in the Spring or Summer as this prompted my own kids to go outside and search for fairies while also exploring nature.

The publisher Tanglewood Press has included a teacher's guide. The last page of the guide has a Nature Walk - cute to fill in with your kids while tracking fairies!!!
