Second book in the set of read-to-me-fantasy stories of little books about wee folk to read to small fry. Elfin Tales has five enchanting stories of how elves navigate without wings, how they are dedicated to doing good deeds - although one story is about a lazy elf. It tells how elves help a motherless puppy find an adopted dog mom and a new human family. Each illustrated story has a subtle message and moral, extoling open mindedness, showing how being different doesn't mean being less, it shows the value of friendships and loving relationships within families of different sorts. One story is about a little child elf who has an crive and amusing imagination but fears someone stole the stars! The Fantasy/SciFi Shelf Elfin Tales: 5 Read-to-me Fantasy Stories Francine L. Trevens, author Maggie Cousins, illustrator T 'n' T Classic Books 360 West 36 St., #2 NW, New York, NY 10018 9781886586161, $9.95, www.TntClassicBooks.com "Elfin Tales" brings five little read-to-me stories about elves, leprechauns, fairies, sylphs, trolls, dogs, and also people, and kids. Each illustrated story has a special nugget of wisdom that children will relish discovering. From an enthralling series that promises more twinkling tales from magical beings, "Elfin Tales" weaves a special blend of traditional whimsey laced with pixie dust with matter-of fact narratives about three dimensional children and adults who are sometimes kind, sometimes not. It is a blend that works well to deliver a delicate message of the need for warmth and a compassionate heart. "Elfin Tales" will be eagerly listened to by children age 4-9, and/or read independently. This reviewer's favorite tale was Leprechaun or Can't, a morality fable and leprechaun travelogue that has little surprises sprinkled throughout. Fantastic little color illustrations add charm and appeal to these small tales.
