This was cute and funny. 4 of the fairytales I didn't know and the others were changed a bit. One was a bit short and one anoyed me because of a young girl willing to marry a man she met a second ago. But other than that, this was great to read before bed after reading a thriller type book hihi

Lyhennetyt ja yksinkertaistetut versiot perinteisistä saduista, sopivat hyvin pikkulapsille ääneen luettaviksi.

I LOVE these versions of the classic fairy tales, with simple words and wonderful pictures for young readers!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book again, reading it alongside the Usborne book of Fairy Tales and comparing them. This book's stories are written more in the style we are used to, although the book also includes a couple of stories I'd not read elsewhere.

Замечательная книга известных сказок с прекрасными иллюстрациями! Подойдет в качестве подарка как взрослому, так и ребенку! Очень позабавил "огр Кощей" в сказке про "Жар-птицу" :D
5 из 5 звезд!
