I really liked
this book, its poetry didn't falter, and the word choices to make that happen
were perfectly chosen. This book could be used for a calming story time
starter, or as an introduction to magical creatures. Of course, it would make a
wonderful bedtime story for a toddler as well. Students can’t get enough of
magical creatures at my school –so this is a nice one that younger students
might be able to read on their own.
