Not too old to read folk tales. A pleasant diversion with some big colourful pictures. One too read with bump when it's no longer a bump.
An illustrated Treasury of Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales brings to life tales of Scottish folklore by telling stories of magical creatures and bringing them to life. This book stands out because it allows readers to use their imagination and bring characters from Scottish folklore to life. Teachers could use this book to demonstrate another culture's ancient folklore and how they have entertained themselves for centuries.
