Santa brought this to my eight year old daughter. She is enthralled by it. I've never seen her carry a book around with her so much. She takes it to bed, she takes it to school. She even has a following of "field guide owner wannabe's" amongst her friends. The book itself is rich in art and imaginative descriptions, some in cursive. My child who usually shies away from reading anything too hard has dove head first into these pages. Every new discovery she makes she wants to discuss together before bed, and this enthusiasm has lasted greater than twenty days! Not only does it give her energy to learn new things, but it promotes creativity - she draws up her own creatures and envisions their habits. For anyone who is wrapped up in the Spiderwick Chronicles, this book makes a great addition to the fantastical world we love to jump into with Tony and Holly.
