I read this book cover to cover with my 6 year old son and we both loved every minute of it. From the Dragon Slayer to the Green Knights Challenge each story was superbly crafted and wonderfully entertaining.
½
Excellent collection of classic poetry for children and parents to enjoy together. The characters, stories, and themes of these poems are engaging and convey values and morals that are still very relevant for today's young children. The artwork is exceptional as well. A personal favorite from my own childhood years of the early 1960's. Brings back warm memories of precious story times spent with my parents.
Most excellent collection of classic fairy tales and children's stories with engaging artwork. A favorite from my childhood that children will still enjoy today!
A fantastic collection of stories and fables from across the globe. I have been reading these stories daily with my son and he loves them.
