AKA Tarot of the Children, Children's Tarot I have the chance to get this deck, but I haven't quite made up my mind yet. So, I thought I would ask here. Would anyone who has this deck like to comment? LadyMedusa Here's a link for those not familiar with this deck http://learntarot.com/cndesc.htm

I have some collected links, but decided against it because I found the Isha Learner deck used for the same price as this deck. Sorry, don't own it, but this might assist you: http://www.lelandra.com/comptarot/tarotchildren.htm http://www.ata-tarot.com/reflections/02-15-03/Hall.htm http://www.astroamerica.com/t-child.html I notice that Joan Cole and Aecletic.net have not reviewed them yet. You could review it for fun.... The cheapest price seems to be 14.40... http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=270152280 I was browsing the children's book section with my youngest nephew yesterday and he's the age that photorealistic look more adult to him. He's not the young toddler that I once knew, of course, but when I saw the toddlers books, they did like bright colors and big images. I think if it appeals to you, the fact there is good meanings and reviews to explore might suggest that you want the feeling that this tarot might convey. Maybe you'd like to do a tarot question--how would the Children's Tarot help me? So my thoughts: think about it, explore and enjoy the exploration! And if time goes by and the deck seems good to you still, there you go! Regards, Cerulean

Thank you Cerulean and Oni, I've found a used copy in very good shape for about $10. It's not a very common deck in my area so it's a very good bargain. Thanks for the links Cerulean, you always seem to be able to find the more informative ones:). Oni, I'm not having any misgivings to speak of about it. Only a very tight budget right now and I didn't want to end up with a "cute" but unusable deck. I really like the simple gentle feel the drawings give. Just looking at the images online I can almost smell the crayon. LadyMedusa

As the recipiant of Oni's deck...I will tell you that I really enjoy it! it is gentle, and sweet, and gives surprisingly accurate readings. I say surprisingly, because I admit I didn't expect much from it at first, but the drawings have thier own little symbology and I like to read it intuitively...and yes! great deck for kids... (although I have to admit the last time I read for children they were more interested in my Thoth deck than either this or my Hanson Roberts!) I recommend this deck. Though if I had a choice between say this...and my Inner Child cards...I like those a lot better!
