Review of 'The field guide' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is a very good children's series, and my inner child enjoyed it a lot.
I am unsure of how to rank it. Some people think 3 stars is not a good rating, but I do like it and I do recommend it. It's very cleverly written, and I look forward to reading this series. I have heard good things about it over the years, and there is supposed to be a movie version, too. When I couldn't find the movie, I went for the books.

It's a short book written for children, so it was a very quick read. I think it could be a good book to read together with your child. Or for a child who is into books and fairies...

There is an intro by the authors that is rather clever...
