I think I would have loved it too at her age, because it reminds me of all those good old fantastic (in the sense of being fantasy) kids' books, like Gnomes, or Mudpies and Other Recipes, the kind of just-in-case-there-really-are-fairies-in-the-garden books I loved at Bella's age. But as an adult, I have to admit that the Spiderwick franchise has an aura of being created for Hollywood. It doesn't lessen its appeal to actual children, though. ( )A field guide to the magical creatures of the spiderwick universe A gorgeously illustrated fictional bestiary. It has some violent elements. For example, the fictional author, Arthur Spiderwick, was drawn into the study of magical creatures because as a boy he saw his brother eaten by a river troll. So don't start reading it to a young one unless you're prepared to do some on-the-fly editing. Overall, though, it does what it does superbly. I thought that this book was absalutely fantastic. Almost definitely the best book I ever read. I would recomend it to almost anyone. no reviews | add a review
