Walking through a local store here, there was a bin in the middle of the walkway full of Children's bargain books. They were all in excellent shape, most of them were hardcover, and almost all of them retailed for 17 or more dollars and were all marked down to 6 dollars or less. As we looked at all the books, picking out some great new stories for bed time, I came across "Mr. Sparrow's Merry Fairy Circus" written by Mark Kimball.
I searched the Internet for some photos of this book so I could share them with you, but with just my luck, there were NONE!
Here are some of the photos I took of this book. The pictures are just stunning! The story, all by itself is just magical! Both Jordan and Charlotte have fallen in love with this book with me. This book has been read almost every day now for the past week and a half.
(inside cover)
This page reads as follows:
"They Marched around the chamomile and through the four-o"clocks, until they reached the center of three circles made of rocks.
A shadow crept across the moon, the band became real quiet - I held my breath, excited by the scene, I can't deny it.
Then all at once, like magic, those dark clouds were whisked away, and moonlight shone upon those rings, about as bright as day.
Mr. Sparrow's voice rang out, projected crystal clear. It sang throughout the garden loud enough for all to hear -
"Laadieeees and Gentlemen and Children, if you please - focus on the center ring - I present the Great Trapeze!"
With that the drummer drummed his drum - "Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-Tat!" and from above there flew a little fairy acrobat!"
Some more pages...
I hope you enjoyed looking at the illustrations, and reading that tid-bit just as much as I do.
I highly recommend this book! If you are interested in picking this up for your wee ones, you can find it at amazon here.
Maybe your little ones will be inspired like mine were to make believe they are little fairies too.
