Summary: My favorite childhood book
Comment: Twig was absolutely my favorite book as a child.It went out of print for a number of years. The children's books available now are wonderful, and many times more numerous than when I grew up, but it would have been a great loss to not reprint Twig for the 21st century. My six-year-old daughter and I have read it through several times.
Twig is about how wonderful a little imagination and some ordinary objects and animals can be in creating a rather complex and marvelous fantasy world. What little girl would not love her own fairies? Twig is poor in worldly goods but very rich with creativity. I keep telling my kids that the best things in life are free; this book definitely is proof!!

Summary: Twig, come play in my yard!
Comment: This is a simple book about a girl in a city who meets "Elf" and becomes small through his magic. She retains her "little girl" qualities while exploring the local natural history (including Elf's pet cockroach!) from the perspective of her new size. It is a fairly easy (though there are linguistic aspects that one might expect to find in a more advanced
book) episodic read, and it is enchantingly sweet and old-fasioned without being sentimental.
_Twig_ was the only book that kept my daughter happy when she was ill over Christmas. She smiled though her fever was high. She slept with the book beside her so she could read it when she awoke. The simple chapters reminded her of the joy and fun there is in the world.
