Title: Verbose but intriguing!
Product review: This book caught me off guard when I began reading it to my almost 4-year old. The descriptions and words used are for much older children if not adults. But, to my surprise, she LOVED the book and asks me to read it often. She didn't understand the story at first. I had to break it down and explain what the fairy in the story, Velvet Rose, wanted to accomplish, but the complexity of the verbage didn't bother her so much. She had plenty to feast her eyes upon in the wonderfully imaginative pictures to keep her occupied while I read. Plus, I believe that her exposure to such language and vocabulary can only be good for her in the long run. She will ask me what the word 'plight' means and I am most happy to define it for her. I also wondered if it would be too scary for her the first time, but nope! I made sure to explain that there is really nothing to fear of the dark and she was fine. I took off a star because the end was a little abrupt, but all good stuff overall!
