this is actually a very strange book...I'm not sure it's that much
"child" appealing...some of the stories i found very bizarre for a children's book...and some of them are not really consistent with the tale it is supposedly telling...I love children's books but just not sure I would recommend this one...I think there are far better ones on the market...

My daughter says I absolutely must add this to my bookshelf for very young children. Apparently it's still among her favorites!
It does have beautiful illustrations, but its young-child appeal would be limited to children (like mine were) already accustomed to listening to stories and creating mental images to accompany the text. Any given page of this book definitely has more text than picture, which is partly why I didn't originally think of it for the "young child" shelf.
Still, my young children both adored this book, and I remember it fondly, so here it is!

This book is filled with fairytails. It is a very good book of mystery and wonder. My recommendation is for 5th to 6th graders.I love this book but it is not the best book ever.
