Customer Reviews

good but not a classic

For my child who loves stories, I like to give nice books that are both picture books and that have long-ish stories to read out loud. This book fit the bill. The stories are imaginative and the illustrations in this volume are pretty nice. Overall it is a nice package and my child was excited enough about the gift to read through all the stories once. But it doesn't seem that it is going to have the same staying power as other previous choices like "D'Aulaires Norse Myths" or a nice volume of tales from the Arabian Nights. It's just not in the same league.
