In Tales From The Starlight Kingdom by Michael Andrews, the Starlight Kingdom is full of dreams and magical things. The Starlight Compass guides young dreamers to the place they want to go. The King and Queen are celestial guides, too, with a comet-tail crown and a stardust gown. There’s a troll who asks for a toll to cross the bridge, but the fee is not high. He just wants a happy thought or a fun story to let the dreamer cross. Fairies, dragons, mermaids, wizards, dancers, and other mythical things all make an appearance in the Starlight Kingdom and encourage the dreamer to dream of anything they wish in their own magical way.
This collection of poetic stories and fairy tales is told in a rhyming fashion that will capture the heart of anyone who reads it. I love the way Andrews added mythical and legendary creatures along with ships and compasses to tell these fascinating stories that will lull kids to sleep with magical ideas to dream about. The beautiful illustrations match each story or tale that follows and add an interesting layer of peace to the entire book. I recommend Tales From The Starlight Kingdom by Michael Andrews to anyone with small children who enjoy fairy tales. I am certain that kids will cherish these stories for years to come, whether they are reading by themselves or having a parent or guardian read to them before bedtime. I hope this author has plenty more stories about the Starlight Kingdom ready for another installment like this beautifully crafted book.
