The stories in this book are wildly over-simplified, which I suppose makes sense being that the book is geared toward very young children. Just a thing to bear in mind if you're not reading it with a child, because I found it quite repetitive even though there were several lesser-known stories included. The illustrations were really what made the book, and they made it well worth sitting through the entire thing. I look forward to passing this on to someone with children young enough to fully appreciate it.

Treasury of Fairy Tales is a collection of folklore intended for the nursery and primary aged child. It includes twenty- eight timeless tales such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Elves and the shoemaker, and Little Red Riding Hood. Each story has an unknown origin but has been passed down from generation to generation orally and then as time progressed it became written. There are illustrations on each page to help tell the story however, only a few are full pages while most are a quarter page. The illustrations contain color. The main characters are youthful either children or young adults. Each of the fairy tales has a theme such as respecting others property, being kind, and listen to your parents and be weary of who you trust. I believe young readers will find Treasury of Fairy Tales to be appealing because most of them will be familiar with the stories already. The attractiveness of the princesses and princes is also appealing to young readers because of the glamorous lifestyle they have. In a classroom setting I would have the children act out the stories. I would also have the students come up with their own tales and create a picture book to tell it.
