Fairy Tales

The best baby book of babies ever! Big format, full-color photos of babies featuring different body parts on each page. Our granddaughter was drawn to it when she was 4 months old and still, at 15 months, chooses it over all the other books we have for her.

This is part of a series of word and image books I read to my daughter over and over when she was little. Each page is a picture of something and the corresponding word. It wasn't much fun for me, but she couldn't get enough of it.

The series doesn't seem very popular on Goodreads or LibraryThing, so I'm adding the ones I have as part of an indexing project for my family's collection of books.

Simple story about shapes for little ones. The story could have been better.

As a Children's book, I found this one to be very disappointing. We all know the story of the Emperor's new Clothes. Yet this one does not do a good job of telling the story. First off, the Target Audience for this book is in question.

It has the large well spaced print for a beginning reader to point to and sound out the words. But the words themselves are in question. How many 3, 4 or 5 year olds do you know that have words such as exquisiteness or Clothiers in their vocabulary? I can see my 3,4 or 5 year old asking me questions like, "What's a swindler?" What's a loom?" "What does magnificence mean?" The words are just too above their pay grade methinks.

Also, this book has no issue with throwing the word, "stupid" out like it's nothing. In fact, in many instances it refers to people not wanting to look "stupid". I just don't think it's appropriate to use that language on such an impressionable mind.

Finally, the book misses telling the moral of the story, which is to always tell and acknowledge the truth, no matter how embarrassing it may be. At the end, the child's bravery of telling the truth regardless of the awkwardness is totally missed on the reader because it's only about 3 sentences long.

I, for one, did not like the telling of this particular tale the way it was told.

started the puzzles in January. haven't finished them yet I am still working on them. this is a rainy day or snow days thing for me.

She stops to pick flowers along the path when she meets the wolf. She forgot not to talk to strangers. She tells him about where she’s going and he says he’d like to visit her grandmother too. So the wolf takes off on a different path and beats her there. The wolf makes the grandmother get in the closet and waits for Little Red Riding Hood in the bed dressed like grandmother. Little Red Riding Hood asked him why he looks different and then asked about his teeth and he reply’s “better to eat you with.” He chases her around the room and woodcutter passing by hears and chases the wolf away. Little Red Riding hood, grandmother and the woodcutter eat the cake and live happily ever after.

My Response: This stays true to the Little Red Riding Hood story I heard when I was younger. I like the hidden message in the story. I guess it’s not really hidden but I believe kids don’t realize that they were learning not to talk to strangers. I also like that this book has questions at the end to ask the students.

good for learning months and seasons
