Flory's character development is a beautiful thing... and so are the illustrations. The local five year old was disappointed that the fairy was not a knight -- causing me to wonder if there is a picture book version of Queen Mab! And as the resident naturalist geek, I am still trying to figure out a way for the bat who lands on the grass for a life-altering conversation with Flory, to get back into the air. Bats in my experience (and I confirmed this with a web search) are physically incapable of that kind of takeoff; they drop from a height and flutter, so they at least need to creep up to a branch two or three feet high. I wish this kind of impossible thing didn't bother me so much! (Review by Zoe, aged 6.) It's about a fairy who loses her wings. She grew up as a Night Fairy but she decides to be a Day Fairy. She thought that humans are giants. She's bossy and she makes friends with a spider and other creatures around the garden that she settles in with. She tries to boss them around and get them to do what she wants. I thought it was really good. When a young night fairy has her wings destroyed by a bat, she decides to become a day fairy. As she tries to adapt to living flightless in a garden, the little fairy makes new friends and discovers new things about herself and the world. This was a cute little children's story. I was expecting more though, I think I have been spoiled by some of the wonderful juvenile/middle school novels I have read lately (most notably those written by Kate DiCamillo). This was nice little story that would be a good read aloud for a young girl. The illustrations are beautiful, but the story didn't move me. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

I don't usually go for fairy stories, but this was more like a survival tale. Flory is all alone and needs to find shelter, food, and allies in order to survive. The other characters in the story (especially the not-too-bright, constantly hungry squirrel and the angry, stubborn spider) challenged Flory's courage and resourcefulness. I expected to find too much cute, but instead I got a satisfying little adventure.
I'm probably alone on this last point, but I'll say it anyway: I had to ignore the illustrations and focus on the writing in order to let myself like it. What's wrong with the illustrations? Oh, maybe it's just a sensibility thing. They felt out-of-date and precious, i.e. not my cup of tea. ( )
