family story

This book jumped off the shelf at me because my father told us stories his grandfather had told him. That grandfather, from Galway Ireland, used to open his stories with a longer version of this book's title - "Once upon a time, though it wasn't your time or my time or anyone else's time" - and I'd never seen that used anywhere else. These are 3 wonderful children's stories, though none of them are from Ireland, and they are beautifully illustrated. Read them with your children and watch them travel to far away places, or curl up on a rainy day and read them yourself, and travel even farther away to your own far away times of childhood.
