The first tale I very much enjoyed. It was a classic fairy tale of a princess and a commoner marrying each other. Very cute!
5 stars

The second tale I enjoyed, but not as much as the first. There was a goat involved though, so that was enjoyable.
4 stars

The third tale I did not understand as much. In it the princess and her husband are now queen and king and they go to find the wizard. Who was once evil and now he's God/an angel?? Is it heaven they go to? I found the ending to be a little confusing.
3 stars

Overall, a nice collection of children's story, but I enjoyed the first one the most.
