      Walsh has crafted a cheerful, detailed guide to building fairy houses, with bright photographs depicting tiny, whimsical structures crafted from sticks, rocks, flowers, and other materials. Walsh speaks with an air of authority, but,
      charmingly, she also consults the real fairy experts—kids. Preschoolers’ tips include not using dog bones or rotten bark and avoiding pulling up living things (“’cause they are
      nature”). Fairy-themed quotations from Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, and others add a sophisticated dimension to a handbook that encourages immersive play and nature exploration. All ages. Agent: Tris Coburn, Tristam C. Coburn Literary Management.

      From scouting sites and gathering materials to building, accessorizing, and attracting inhabitants, this how-to guide to building fairy houses includes instruction, fairy lore, recipes, and additional crafting ideas. The conversational narrative is too long-winded for early elementary schoolers, but the photographs of fairy houses may be inspiring enough. Reading list, websites. Glos.
