The Knot Fairy

I was so excited to win The Knot Fairy by Bobbie Hinman in a giveaway on Growing and Learning by Leaps and Bounds. Since receiving the book a few days ago, we have been reading it with great regularity. The book also includes an audio CD of the story narrated by the author and an original song.

The book is about a little fairy that flies into children's rooms while they sleep and tangles their hair. The story is cute and the illustrations are adorable. R was a tiny bit nervous about any kind of fairy (or anything) coming near her while she sleeps. She had this same fear when she was preparing for the tooth fairy a few months ago. This little bit of fear, however, has not diminished her love for this book.

The author also wrote The Sock Fairy and The Belly Button Fairy. I haven't read those, but I hope to find them at the library. They are definitely in the back of my mind for potential Christmas presents.

R seems to like fairies quite a bit, but I think I like them more than she does. The idea of little fairies causing mischief is just so sweet. I really like the magical element. Maybe I'm trying to relive my childhood through R. Is that so bad?

This book sounds lovely - I'll check for it in the library. So far my daughter hasn't been into fairies at all, but it all changes so quickly

sounds really cute...im guessing the sock fairy is a fairy that takes matching sox & I'm really really hoping that the belly button fairy doesn't put lint in your belly button because that's just nasty.

I say go ahead and re-live your childhood through her... why not?? Congrats on winning the giveaway! What a fun book! Emily always seems to wake up with tangles in her hair, and I know she would love to read a book like this. I'm going to reserve it at my library. So much fun!
