my reviews

Tooth Fairy Puppet

Fairy Friends
Dec-7-2009

Finger puppet to sit on your palm. A good listener. A lovely face. A pocket just right to hold the smallest silver coin of the realm.

Scarlet Macaw Puppet

Ma-cor!
Dec-7-2009

On the large side for a pirates shoulder, this puppet will appear to sit on one wrist, the perch, as it supports your elbow/macaw. Fabulously strokable and not painful when it bites. A real bargain bird.

Wild Swans

Illustrations to sink into, seem soft as swansdown
Jun-27-2009

This is glorious. Each illustration is there to be savoured. It is difficult to move on to the text. Be warned.

Grandmothers' Stories

Wise women with magic
Jun-27-2009

A strong central character to each story, a sense of power, a sense of possibility, something larger than a small life. I think this one is fine for over fives, aloud.
