Not Just for the VERY Young

Why is this out of print!? Every child should have a chance to hear these modern but timeless stories and enjoy the festive illustrations. Most of the stories, each written by "top children`s writers," (Angela Bull, Adele Geras, Chris Powling, Mary Rayner, Dyan Sheldon, Martin Waddell) are entertaining and thought-provoking. They feature people (and animals) of color, as well as fantasy. I rather enjoy the Nativity told from a sheep`s point of view. And the one about the king who has everything tells a most appropriate message, especially at this time of year. My sons` favorite is about a dragon who learns about Christmas from a seven-year-old girl and gives up his people-eating ways. We even read this when it is not Christmastime.
