To go with dePaola's art, there are fairy tales, fables, and a few poems. The fairy tales are pitched for small kids. For example, the wolf doesn't eat the 3 little pigs, and he doesn't get boiled. (Sorry, was that a spoiler?) This is perfect for my 3-year-old who is ready for a story with a real narrative arc, but still needs a picture on every page.
I do not like this book's "updated" nursery tales. Yuck.
Tomie de Paola knocks it outta the ballpark again.
