Hilo de hada

Gr 3—5—This poetry collection takes readers to a world in which fairies fly around dressed up as butterflies and where carefully kept secrets are revealed: how to know if your day will be filled with love; how to know if summer has arrived; which are the first secrets one must gather; what can magic paper do. The poems tell stories about the fairy who invented the first dream machine and others who take away certain objects that disappear without explanation, only to make them reappear later. Lechermeier also adds to this treasure the fairies' favorite perfumes, which tout such fragrances as Hot Chocolate and Grandma's Garden. The creative free verses are enhanced by Fronty's artfully conceived, lively illustrations full of beauty and color. This exquisite edition will be especially appreciated by fantasy lovers. Readers will be spellbound from the first sentence to the last.—Narda McCarthy, Para Los Niños, Broward County, FL
