 The Cover is Spiderwick... November 6, 2007
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
The cover is "Spiderwick".. and that's about it. If you are looking for a compendium of original art (such as Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide or Care and Feeding of Sprites) this is NOT it. The cover has the right feel, the rest falls short.
It is supposed to be a "scrapbook" belonging to Thimbletack - it tries really hard! A few illustrations from the previous works are inserted; the rest is collected scraps from various magazines, books, etc. that relate to fairy lore. Nothing new about the books is presented.
A great companion, perhaps, for the kiddies (and educational regarding folktales), but it doesn't compare to an original work. Almost like the authors are contracting out their work to an artist they never met. Tony DiTerlizzi did indeed design the cover, but that feels like the extent of his contribution. The intricate popouts and pulltabs don't measure up to the magic and excitement so evident in the series and other books.
Younger readers may find this book intriguing for a day or so, but if you are looking for a PERFECT book that keeps them returning for the magic, buy "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide"!

The review comes from my 6 year old Grandson, Ethan. He is learning to read from the stories. He is so enthralled with the stories, I will be buying the rest of the set. Some of the words are hard for him, but is forging on into the fantasy.
Great motivation for my son to start reading December 6, 2007

My 4 year old son adores this book and will attempt to read bits and pieces of words around what I think is a visually stimulating book. This book is getting him motivated and involved into the world of books!
Spiderwick Field Guide a Fantastic Book February 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of the best movie tie in books I have seen yet. Looks just like the Field Guide in the movie. Lots of really nice paintings and lots of hidden pockets with little things in them and envelopes. Just a fascinating book to read and browse. After reading through this book I feel I am fully prepared to see the movie when it premiers next week. Highly recommended.
really a neat book December 17, 2007
