I read this book to my little cousin. She enjoyed the pictures, but the story was completely lost on her. Mostly, it had to do with the lack of plot. Although, I realize that I am not the target audience for 'Do fairies bring in the spring', but without a plot the book had no continuity. Just because it's a children book, does not mean you can string together a bunch of sentences and hope that the kids wont find it boring. In truth, I've read many children books that had moving plots, characters and morals that benefited both the children and the parent reading the novel.
I appreciate the author was trying to bring in the importance and magic of nature, but it fell short since there was nothing compelling the reader forward.
At the end, when I asked my cousin what the book was about, she did not have a clue. But the pictures were beautiful, and she appreciated the fairy art.
