A sort of 'best of children's books' collection - has extracts from various famous books including The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, Granny's wonderful chair, Stuart Little, etc. As a child I recall feeling vaguely cheated - as if I'd have preferred an honest whole book rather than these bits!
Another book I collected for its illustrations and sentimental value. My children do like me to read from it, which I love because it is such a nostalgic experience for me. Beautiful illustrations.
