(4) K-3 Photographs by Amy Wilton. Thorough information about fairy lore and instructions for building fairy houses are accompanied by cheerful photos and enthusiastic scavenger-hunt lists of things to be observed and collected in each season. The engaging prose nonetheless seems targeted for more mature readers than the subject's most likely audience, and the 120-page book contains a surprisingly small number of actual fairy house ideas for readers to try.

(3) 4-6 Photographs by Jennifer Smith-Mayo. Both what constitutes treasure and how to find it are the subjects of this comprehensive book with chapters discussing pirates, buried treasure, and various hobbies (such as panning for gold; metal detecting; geocaching; and hunting for rocks, minerals, and fossils). Photos of kids engaged in these activities and their finds may entice young readers to start their own hunts. Reading list.

(4) K-3 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.
