My Review:
I will freely admit that the Fablehaven Series is one of my favorites. When I heard that Brandon Mull was working on a sequel series to Fablehaven called "Dragonwatch" I actually screamed out loud. So of course I jumped at the chance to review his new book Fablehaven: Book of Imagination.
There are so many fun things for a kid...oh I'll admit it, even adults will love doing things in this book. I was so fascinated when I first opened up this book. It brought back so many memories of when I first read the series. This book would be the perfect gift for your child or grandchild who is just starting to read the series. There are many things that they have to remember about the books in order to appreciate the activities in this new book. I actually can't wait to do some of the coloring pages & I especially loved one with a fairy. The other fun thing I'd love to do would be the making your own magical preserve.
I just was amazed at how everything in this book would ignite a child's/teen imagination. My only warning about this book is, if you have more than one child that likes this series, you may need to buy more than one copy for your family in order to stop bickering among family members that want to do the same page. Honestly,this book is an absolute winner for many hours of entertainment technology free. It also made me even more excited to read Dragonwatch: A Fablehaven Adventure coming out next March 14, 2017.
