Posie Pixie is a splendid story to encourage young readers. It's very pleasant and welcoming tone; I imagine to be extremely pleasing. The themes revolt around friendship and helping others - essentially kindness. The illustrations compliment the story quite well, as they had me smiling while I read about Posie Pixie. As she meets and interacts with Rosa-May, I further enjoyed the language and speech - a great way to allow young readers to interact and experience the story.

My daughter and I read this book the other night and we both loved it. The characters have a good balance of fun and resourcefulness. I had a clear image of the characters and setting. As a parent I really appreciate the way the moral of the story is not overpowering and repetitive, but rather goes along nicely with the flow of the story. The illustrations are wonderful as well. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

Posie Pixie and the Copper Kettle (Whimsy Wood) by Sarah Hill is a delightful adventure story where young readers find themselves being taken on an adventure along with Posie Pixie in Whimsy Wood. Posie the Pixie is looking for a new house for autumn as summer was slowly ending. As she leans on a tree stump to rest, she reminisces about the summer days which she had spent with Bristle Bumblebee and Dewberry Dragonfly. A caravan passes by and suddenly the horse lifts one of his hooves and the pots and pans fall clanging from the caravan. Posie the Pixie helps the travelers and in return gets a quirky copper kettle. In this story filled with whimsy, magic and enchantment, readers see Posie the Pixie making a lot of new friends while trying to find a cozy autumn home for herself.
The story is beautifully expressed; the pictures are exquisite and capture the enchantment and magic of the tale. The story also teaches kids to interact and converse with others. It is a good book to use for read aloud sessions in classrooms and libraries. The author also conveys a good message of friendship and helping others. All the characters in the story are lovable and charming. They give excellent pace and movement to the events with their adorable behavior. The illustrations complement the whimsical feel of the story beautifully. The author does a great job of conveying a good message with her expert storytelling.

A delightful little book following the ingenious foraging for home comforts of a very lovable little pixie character. The story also illustrates how one good turn deserves another.
Alliteration is used to good effect and there are some great phrases that made me chuckle, such as "pips and petals"! The characterisation is excellent, the vocabulary is appropriate for an early reader, and I particularly liked the way that the text is double-spaced. The story is beautifully illustrated with charming pictures somewhere on every double page.
A great start to what looks like a very promising series.
