Better Than Grimm For Kids

This book of stories was so well sourced! I would say the variety was amazing, but I didn't hear any Native stories from the Americas. However there were some from Louisiana, but those were not Native. In spite of that, this book was a pleasure to read! And it's such an interesting take to see how each culture approaches fairy tales and their lessons. I especially loved the Asian tales. And it has made me want to research a good book translated into English on Asian fairy tales. That being said, there were still some gruesome bits. But if you're looking for a varied book to read the kids, I do recommend this book! I do not find it overly or unnecessarily violent or gruesome (I'm looking at you, Grimm Brothers). All in all, it was a perfect listen to me as I was in a time of transition when I did so. And having each chapter be its own story was exactly what I needed! I will be buying this book at some point. 9/10 recommend
