Great way to get kids excited about reading!.......2006-03-22
My first grader absolutely fell in love with the Rainbow Fairy series and is now onto the Weather Fairies. Lovely, light stories, they feature young girls (just like her) trying to save fairies and their magical world. These are perfect books for readers beginning chapter books.

Great Book For Little Ones.......2007-07-10
My daughter loves all things fairy and asks for this to be read over and over. This is a charming story. It has sweet drawings and a couple of morals within the story. The pictures add so much to the text and I love the extra illustrations at the end as well as the poem at the beginning. Makes a great birthday present for all your little fairy lovers.

1001 things to spot.......2007-09-13
the order was quick and efficient and in the condition they said it was in.
great book for little fairy fans.......2006-12-16
This book is wonderful for early readers or non readers. There is very little text on each page, just a title and lots of pictures. I bought this for my daughter because she likes fairies and search and find books keep my children busy for quite some time. The great thing about this book, though, is that it allows non-readers to work independently. The number is right next to the item they are to find, so they can easily figure out how many of the object they need to locate. I have been very impressed by how quickly my 3yo is catching on to number recognition when it comes to knowing how many little fairies are hiding on a page. I highly recommend this book.
Excellent preparation.......2006-08-19
Knowledge attainment is based on one's ability to recognize similarities and differences in life. This book is an excellent tool for gaining this ability. It also contributes to learning to count and recognizing quantity.

Book Description
The author of Eternal Light, Red Dust, and Pasquale's Angel, PAUL J. McAULEY has taken science fiction in dazzling new directions. With FAIRYLAND-- his most compelling, vividly imagined work to date he firmly establishes himself as one of today's major talents in the world of speculative fiction.
Before he met the brilliant, hypnotic child Milena, Alex Sharkey had never played with "dolls"--blue-skinned, gengineered lifeforms designed for work, amusement, or destruction. But the underground gene-hacker is seduced by a megalomaniacal little girl's dream of providing the soulless genetic constructs with free thought and a future-and he unwittingly unleashes a plague of madness on the world. Now there's a void in his life and memory that must be refilled, but it means pursuing the dangerous sentient species he helped sire from the ruins of a Magic Kingdom through a wasted Europe. It is Alex Sharkey's last chance and the last hope remaining for a once-dominant human race.
Customer Reviews:
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
The protagonist in this story is a dodgy biotech hacker of sorts. Biologicals and small machines and creations abound. They are used for advertising, manipulation, and worse.
On a larger scale, these creations, or 'dolls' are used for other purposes. What if they decide they have had enough, and want to be recognised as more than just creations.
A little trippy, and more than a little disturbing, at times.
My 100-word book review.......2007-03-27
Set in a dystopian near future, Fairyland is filled with exotic and sinister technological wonders. Designer drugs, mind-altering viruses, savage "warewolves", personalities uploaded into virtual worlds. And, of course, there are the dolls, artificial beings created for humanity's amusement but which, like miniature Frankenstein monsters, become increasingly and alarmingly independent. Fairyland suffers from being a novel in three parts, with separate casts of minor characters, and this makes it rather disjointed. But the firecracker display of ideas is exhilarating, Alex Sharkey is a refreshingly atypical hero and, despite dating from over a decade ago, this novel remains relevant and enjoyable.
Warewolves of Europe.......2004-12-07
Don't let this novel's fey title fool you. This is actually a chilling near-future dystopia tale about nanotechnology and genetic engineering running amuck, with some remarkable ideas by McCauley that give you the very uncomfortable impression that they could possibly come true some day. Psychological plagues are spreading throughout the human population through the use of microscopic "fembots" that can alter behavior and personalities, and these are traded like illicit substances and used for psycho-warfare and manipulation. Meanwhile, genetic engineering has resulted in semi-intelligent "dolls" used for human service and amusement. The two processes have come together to produce a new species of intelligent dolls called "fairies" who are being manipulated by artificial intelligence constructs to take over the world (creating their own "fairyland") and eliminate their human creators. This all culminates in a bizarrely psychoactive war in Eastern Europe. McCauley displays great feats of the imagination here, especially through the use of a wasted French theme park (which shall remain nameless) that has become a festering shantytown and breeding ground for inhuman revolutionaries. This novel is a bit confusing with all its subplots and ephemeral characters, but you can't deny that McCauley has come up with some of the most intriguing ideas in recent sci-fi. [~doomsdayer520~]
Chilly creativity.......2004-11-30
McAuley works up familiar dystopian SF tropes (balkanized first world countries, climatic disaster, virtual reality, etc., etc.) with great skill and seemingly endless invention but not enough feeling. I kept reading, wondering what was going to happen next, and wondering why I should care.
Where is Fairyland? Which Fairyland?.......2004-07-06
I have read a few of the books by this gent and to my way of thinking, this is the best. Published in 1995, it seems that everybody else is catching up with it now. Alastair Reynolds has written of indoctrinal viruses, but did they first appear in fiction between these covers?
At the start we meet Alex Sharkey, ex-con, nuaghty boy, but no ogre, no monster. Young Mr Sharkey is mixed up with something hitech that he cooks up on the sly, something that is about to become illegal. Then he meets the Little Miss and everything changes. Alex becomes a target who survives by moving. And Alex is not the old Alex anymore. The old Alex has already died and woken back to a new life under heavy manners.
Cut to years later in gay Paree. Alex is treks through an altered Europe, looking for the Little Miss, fomenting Revolution, fighting for his own life and those of his confederates. The book throw off fountains of virtual reality, biological technology, references to exotic Chemistry and Physics, the nuts and bolts of Cyberpunk. There is a difference. I don't remember Gibson making much of Biology.
Ever heard of George Turner? I'll excuse you if you haven't. He was the finest SF writer Australia ever produced. He said that in the future there would be more horrors produced by Biology than anything else and here McAuley proves him right. The artificial people, the Fairies, he creates and inserts into the world are Capek's robots, a race of servants who revolt and take over, change themselves and us, move the bottom rail to the top as the slave becomes the master. Think of the huge breakthroughs we might be on the verge of and ask how could they be misued.
Alex Sharkey pursues Fairyland, Utopia, his Little Miss, and it is all like being stretched on the rack. How many people reach out for dreams they cannot reach, wander off after a vision, a false hope? This book is about Sharkey's journey and the fantasy of Fairyland, whether it be London by night or Utopia. It is about the different fairylands that live inside peoples' heads. And of course, my old favourites, Good and Evil.
As SF, this is marvellous. It is pure wonder and horror, just bloody excellent, just as good the third time as the first.

Every little girl's dream come true.......2005-08-02
Fairy Fun provides all the information and material you need to provide an enchanted fairy wonderland for your child. Every little girl loves to dress up and wave that magic wand. From magic spells to fairy gardens, you and the little ones in your life can create and experience the magical, mystical realm of the wee folk.
Maginary the Fairy.......2002-08-16
Based on previous reviews, I expected a lot more ideas from this book. In planning a birthday party for my 6-year-old daughter, I had hoped to find more practical crafts and games for children. I was dissappointed that few of the ideas were original-- many of them I already had. I mean, come on, I thought the page dedicated to making fairy invitations could be more creative than: Get a paper, fold it in half, write the party information on the inside and outside, glue sparkly things to the invitation, address and stamp the envelope, put the invitation inside, and mail it. I may adapt a couple of the crafts for our party, but the flower fairy dolls are too difficult for children to make themselves, and I think many of the crafts and games I already have will be more fun. If you are experienced with throwing good theme parties, you probably don't need this book. If you need ideas and don't have many of your own, this book will get you started.
Great! Lots of fun!.......2000-06-14
I love this book! My friends and I have had lots of fun with it! What other book would inspire you to build a fairy house in the school garden? I really recomend this book to any fairy lover!
Fabulous activity book for children and parents!.......1999-02-02
If you or your child is fascinated by fairies and loves to create props for imaginary play, this is the book for your family! My five year old daughter has used this book almost every day since receiving it last month. Most of the projects she has picked have needed some guidance or hands-on help from an adult, but she can participate fully in their completion. My nine year old would be able to do most of the projects independently. We've made fairy dust, and hand sewn bags to carry it. The stick puppets and fairy treasure box are used almost daily. My daughter is busily planning her next birthday party entirely from the pages of this book! My favorite feature is that while the directions are thorough and can be followed by older children, they leave plenty of room for individual creativity. Your fairy lover can take the authors' suggestions and easily adapt each project to her own style!
Book Description
Poetry to delight anyone who still believes in magic."When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."-J. M. Barrie, Scottish, 1860-1937, from Peter PanThe art of Englishman Richard Doyle offers lush glimpses into the world of the wee folk. Doyle's fairies troop through meadows, twirl in the moonlight, and enlist birds and bugs in games and mischief. His whimsical illustrations, chosen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, are paired with poems by William Shakespeare, John Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Stevie Smith, and Langston Hughes, among others.Fairy sweethearts among the roses illustrate Wilder's "The Fairies in the Sunshine," elf babies in a snail race match Robert Graves's "I'd Love to Be a Fairy's Child," and a fairy queen carried by butterflies reimagines Shakespeare's popular "Queen Mab" soliloquy. A magical treasury that will enchant readers of all ages.

Lovely Art, Lovely Poetry.......2006-12-25
The fairy art in this is unique and exquisite. Each image goes very well with the sweetly written poetry along side it. Wonderful to read to a child or yourself to lift you spirits!
A SUPERB PAIRING OF ART AND POETRY.......2002-03-13
British artist Richard Doyle (1824-1883), the son of a portrait painter and caricaturist, may be best remembered by some as the creator of the cover design for Punch, which was used for over a century. He also illustrated a number of children's books and created beguiling paintings of fairies, the wee folk. It is the latter that is used to illustrate this lovely keepsake volume.
Doyle's paintings are imaginative and incandescent, luminous illustrations of fairies astride snails, perched on a beetle or relaxing on a verdant hillock. Each illustration perfectly accompanies a poem, such as a tiny one sipping from a cowslip's bell in Shakespeare's "Ariel's Song" or fairies engaged in a tug-of-war with a grasshopper in "An Explanation of the Grasshopper" by Vachel Lindsay.
Other poets represented include John Keats, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Butler Yeats, and Langton Hughes.
The pairing of art and poetry is superb, thoughtfully conceived and executed. This slim volume deserves a place in everyone's library.

entertaining.......2007-01-16
This book was so entertaining. An easy read and although Ms. McKenzie's guidelines for dating are great, I found this book hysterical! My single friends, (God Bless them!)
that have to go through the dating process should really read this book. Full of great advice and I love the fact Ms. McKenzie used real life situations. I am just sorry she had to date some of those goons. But then again she wouldn't have this awesome book!! I will be sending copies to my single friends!!
Entertaining!.......2007-01-04
This funny book can open your eyes to the dangers and joys of dating. Ms. Mckenzie writes in an easy style that almost reveals how she would sound in conversation; knowledgeable, and affable with a wink of the eye. I recommend this book.
Creative and helpful.......2007-01-03
I loved this book. IT described truly what people think and what their motives are. It's like the author read my mind and all the ones that I have dated as well!
Excellent, enjoyed ever turn of the page!
