Fairy houses by Tracy Kane

This is the original book in the Fairy Houses Series.
What happens when you build a house for the fairies to live in?
Do they come to visit?
Fascinated by the array of fairy shelters made of bark, leaves, seashells and other natural materials, Kristen sets out to build her own fairy house in the woods. Little does she realize that Nature wants to get in on the act - with her own cast of characters! Each time, as Kristen checks on her fairy house, there is an unexpected visitor! Irresistible illustrations enhance the anticipation of what will happen next, right up to the surprise ending.
Does Kristen really see the fairies? Or is it the influence of a particular place at a special moment? This enchanting story reveals how nature inspires children's imaginations and captures their hearts. It encourages them to cherish and respect wildlife and their habitats.... and to create their own fairy houses... Anywhere!
This is the original book in the Fairy Houses Series, and inspired the multi award-winning children's video Kristen's Fairy House.

“An enchanting children's picturebook”
The Midwest Book Review
“Kane’s ethereal drawings are simply amazing, glowing with a Monet-like light of their own …… A must for children’s collections”
Today’s Librarian
Today’s Librarian Editors note: “Not only did the reviewer love it, but her child (in second grade) adored it and did a book report/fairy-house drawing for his class – and he asked if he could have the book for his own collection!”
“The colorful pictures and the magic of the fairies had my daughter entranced, but what makes this a winner is the fact that kids immediately want to go outside and build their own fairy house.”
Children's Book Sense 76 Picks, American Booksellers Association
"As host of Hollywood Squares and America's Funniest Videos I could be accused of biting the hand that feeds me, but I've got a great reason to turn off the television. "Fairy Houses" is a wonderful way to get your kids to engage their imagination and explore the wonder of their own backyards. Both my daughters have built their own fairy houses using the suggestions in the book. Tracy Kane's imaginative story and beautiful illustrations provide a perfect bedtime story and next day adventure."
Tom Bergeron, host - Hollywood Squares and America's Funniest Videos
