What I liked:
This book is beautifully illustrated. So much so, that it really captures your imagination. The lift the flap surprises are wonderful and they lead you into the book, where the faeries are waiting for you. The varying styles of faeries, classic of Brian Froud, capture your heart and enthrall the mind.
What I didn't:
Not a thing.
Overall:
If you love books about faeries, then you need to check this out. Pop-ups, lift the flap adventures, and portals into the faery world await. An excellent gift for someone who loves faeries, or for your own collection. I know I will be keeping this book in my library for a long time to come. Many thanks for the wonderful folks at Abrams for sending a copy my way for review.
