A nice collection of classic stories such as The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Pigs & The Three Billy Goats Gruff. It contains 17 stories total with illustrations throughout the book.

New facsimile edition of the 1930’s classic anthology. Richardson’s Art Nouveau-influenced illustrations are picturesque and naturalistic, with drawing of animals that rival Beatrix Potter in their mixture ofn of verisimilitude and personality. A pretty, oversize item to dip into for years to come. And that troll is like a combination of Salvador Dali and Senor Wences. Hideous! Gorgeous!
It might be fun to pair this classic with a peppy, updated fractured fairy tale. Sarah Mlynowski’s Whatever After books transport a contemporary kid and her brother into fairy tales, where they must save the princess – or not, because sometimes that messes up the story.

"Best-Love Children's Stories. is a collection of folklores. Is intended for children 3-8 years of age. The book is beautifully illustrated with simple but adventurous stories. It is a classic that brings back many memories. I love the story "The Little Red Hen" and "The Three Billy-Goats Gruff."
I think it is a book that can be shared with everyone in the family. It is the kind of book that grabs children's attention because of the creative short stories that are in it. I think all children should have the experience of reading these tales.
