Patter-Paws the Fox : And Other Stories
From “Patter-Paws the Fox” and “Sharp-Claws the Lobster” to “Lusty-Lion and Trusty Mouse,” young children will find the animated animal characters in these stories enjoyable and inspiring. Along with lively, detailed, and expressive illustrations by Brian Gold, the narrative will stimulate the imagination of young children and encourage them to read.
Created especially for early readers, the author has taken great care in crafting the structure and style of the stories. The language, letter patterns, progressions of word structures, and sound sequences have all been shaped to build children’s confidence, gradually leading to more disciplined work later in the book. In addition to grading the stories according to these principles, the stories involve repetition, rhyming devices, and the use of common words that form the foundation of “sight vocabulary.”
The visual element has also been considered in the layout, with large typeface and small paragraphs, which become more condensed as reading ability becomes stronger.
(Ages 6–9)

I'm giving 3 starts because the illustrations are beautiful.
The fables would also be good were they written in a better way. The constant repeating of the same words or phrases is just annoying and irritating. How many times do we need to read "powerful" in one paragraph? Obviously 6 times... etc. This kind of writing might be interesting for a 3-year-old, but not for a child that can already read.
It is supposed to be written according to the powerful waldorf method and I really feel sorry for powerful kids who need to follow this powerful waldorf method to become powerful kids of the powerful waldorf method... boy, only 5 times. I suck.... But you get the powerful point, don't you? (6 times, YES! :D )
