Customer Reviews

Original and imaginative: We love this book!

I'm a collector of great children's books, and I was delighted to find this one: it's fresh, imaginative and just-plain-fun. I've started reading it to my three-month-old so that Hesselberg's stories are the ones she grows up on -- a big improvement over Cinderella and the Three Little Pigs! I've passed along the title to one of my faculty colleagues, who has written a book about children's literature: she loved it, too. It's a big hit -- with my infant daughter and her grown-up mommy.

kids love these

As a elementary school teacher, I use this book all the time for great read aloud stories which never fail to light up eyes and get laughs from my students. Sometimes the story is a prompt for them to write their own tales. Kids are tough audiences and often the books that garner the acclaim of the adult critics bomb with the intended audience. These stories past the test in the classroom week after week.
