Stone Fox
Submitted by SarahKate on Tue, 11/06/2007 - 16:20.SarahKate's Notes:
This is one of the books I wish I'd read all the way through before I read it to the girls (then ages 4 and 7). It is a really amazing book, the girls begged to hear it and at the end we all almost cried! This is an excellent story for older kids.

SarahKate's Notes:
In my opinion this is one of the finest collections of fairy tales
I've read. They aren't syrupy and super-positive. They are gentle,
original stories of children overcoming their fears, learning powerful
lessons, and meeting magical spirits. We savor this book and I read
the a story from it every few weeks and it is a real treat the whole
family enjoys.

A collection of twelve original fairy tales with a gentle, sensitive flavor. There are no wicked witches threatening to cook and eat small children, no big, bad wolves devouring your grandma. You will find instead, stories in which good things happen to characters who work at making their lives and relationships better--with and without magic.
Marigold and the Feather of Hope, The Journey Begins (The Fairy Chronicles)
Submitted by SarahKate on Tue, 11/06/2007 - 16:30.SarahKate's Notes:
I was really impressed with this book! In addition to being ordinary girls, some girls are granted a fairy spirit, and can change into a fairy any time they wish. Magic is all around us, though we may see the garden Gnomes as eggplants and a fairy as a butterfly. This is the first in a series the my 7 yo is very anxious to hear more of!
