Summary: Twig, come play in my yard!
Review: This is a simple book about a girl in a city who meets "Elf" and becomes small through his magic. She retains her "little girl" qualities while exploring the local natural history (including Elf's pet cockroach!) from the perspective of her new size. It is a fairly easy (though there are linguistic aspects that one might expect to find in a more advanced
book) episodic read, and it is enchantingly sweet and old-fasioned without being sentimental. _Twig_ was the only book that kept my daughter happy when she was ill over Christmas. She smiled though her fever was high. She slept with the book beside her so she could read it when she awoke. The simple chapters reminded her of the joy and fun there is in the world.

Summary: This was my favorite book for several years in grade school.
Review: This is a story of a lonely little girl with a wonderful imagination. She builds her story from other apartment tenants, backyard animal friends, and friends brought to life by her imagination. The author weaves a wonderful modern day fairy princess story. I remember hanging on every word as a child, and look forward to finding another copy of this book to share with my grandchildren in the future.

Summary: Sweet fantasy
Review: This is my most memorable book as a child. I've looked high and low and finally found a copy through e-bay. When I received it in the mail, I cried. Who would think a children's book could evoke such emotion? This wonderful story of a little girl with an imagination that couldn't quit is so enchanting. However, I rewrote it in my head all these years and had a slightly different version but it still is a sweet picture.

Summary: TWIG: back for a new generation!
Review: This new 60th Anniversary Edition of TWIG was created from a 1942 First Edition of the book. We've included all the magical text and illustrations drawn by Caldecott Medalist Elizabeth Orton Jones. She also wrote a delightful new introduction on the importance of using your imagination!

Summary: Favorite Childhood Book
Review: This was my favorite childhood book. I signed it out of the local library so many times that the librarian had to order extra copies so that other kids would have a chance to enjoy it too

Summary: I loved this book
Review: This was the best book I read as a child and I loved it as an adult also. The librarian used to save it for me and I would check it out, return it and check it out again the same day for an entire summer. I lived that story. It mesmerized.

Summary: My favorite childhood book
Review: Twig was absolutely my favorite book as a child.It went out of print for a number of years. The children's books available now are wonderful, and many times more numerous than when I grew up, but it would have been a great loss to not reprint Twig for the 21st century. My six-year-old daughter and I have read it through several times.
Twig is about how wonderful a little imagination and some ordinary objects and animals can be in creating a rather complex and marvelous fantasy world. What little girl would not love her own fairies? Twig is poor in worldly goods but very rich with creativity. I keep telling my kids that the best things in life are free; this book definitely is proof!!
