Love, love, love this book!! It is filled with all types of fun things like fairies, tea parties, and a festival!! It made me want to hop into the book and join them! Annabelle wanted to find fairies! She had all of the time in the world to look and look. Her parents on the other hand were too busy to even think about fairies. They had to work and check emails and take care of her little brother Sam. As an adult reading it, I realized how important it is to just slow down and take time to see the smaller blessings in life, like the fairies. It is a great eye opener to adults reading to their children. It allows the parent to really think about what their child is saying and take more time to listen to them. As a future educator, I need to do the same. It is important to me to listen to their little stories they love to blurt out, because in them you find out what they love, what makes them sad and most importantly what they see that I do not. Children look at the world in a completely different way than adults. They look at it as a place to explore, new things to see, new people to meet. It is a world filled with mystery, excitment, and wonder! They are facinated by the things adults look over, the things that adults do not even realize exist. I loved how this book made me want to go lay in the grass and look for fairies. I know I might not find any right away, but think of all the other magical things I could find!
