I've loved these stories since I was a little girl. They're fun and fantastical, and while they tend to have some sort of moral, it's not the kind of obvious moral that smacks you over the head. It's easy to read one or two before bedtime. :) It's also easy for a little girl to say, "Just one more?" ... and get just one more. (
