Hewan's review: I want to give it 100 stars. I loved it so much because it's about fairies and elves and birds and humans turning into little things. The Fairy Queen was my favorite. That's all.
I liked this story, it was charming and fun, but it wasn't a favorite for me.

Very sweet little book. Great first chapter book read-aloud for a 5-7 year old.

My first encounter with this book was as a child. My mother read it aloud to us on a long car ride to help pass the time. I remember laughing at the older gentlemen saying “young whippersnapper”, but not much else, except that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My mom read the first chapter aloud to my 4 year old one day when she napped at her house, and she brought it home to continue reading it.
This book has an ethereal, dreamy, nostalgic quality to it. A simpler time where play was dominated by found objects and your imagination. I can see why kid me loved it, fairies, magic, talking to animals. It captured my daughter’s attention. A simple story over the course of a day in a poor, lonely, urban girl’s life as she invents and imagines a magical day.

Really enjoyable read-aloud for me, my 7yo son and 5yo daughter. They gave it 5 stars.

Read this to my kids, 6 and 4. The prose style was a little difficult for them to follow, and sometimes a little difficult to read aloud. Also, the repetitiveness got annoying reading aloud. But, it was a cute story and I really like the imagination = magic theme.

This was really, really cute. I don’t know why this story isn’t more well known or popular. I can’t wait to read it with Eve!

This was a read aloud to a group of Kindergarteners and from the beginning, they were hooked, both boys and girls. The author’s description of spunky Twig, her friends and neighbors, and her boundless imagination were a perfect blend of loveliness and whimsy. Each adventure was attended to and remembered. The illustrations added so much to the story and were utterly charming.
