Praise for this book

'The sort of old-fashioned nature story that will appeal to fans of the Flower Fairies. I love these gentle storie which are steep in natural history. The pictures show all manner of wildlife, really conjuring up what it might be like to live as a tiny creature on the forest floor. Happily, my daughter shares my fascination.'
- Families Online

'The children I have read this book to have loved this cheerful and exciting story. They have been fascinated at the thought of being made tiny for the day.'
