The adventures of Pinocchio - 3 stars
Funny little story but lacks a bit of context
Alice's adventures in Wonderland - 4 stars

Very absorving story about how limited human perception is.
Miss Hickory - 4 stars
Heartfelt tale about change and adaptation. Very relatable!

It was a pleasure to finally come in contact with this fat little bear. To me this was very special and painfully nostalgic.

CSI barn edition; so entertaining!
Mischief in Fez - 5 stars
Very well developed story with a touch of oriental mythology (LOVED IT!!!)
The king of the Golden River - 4 stars
Your typical childhood story where the good defeats the evil.
Mr. Toad - 3 stars
Super random and lacking context but funny enough to be enjoyable.
The mermaids' lagoon - 4 stars

Twenty-one balloons - 5 stars
Diamond conspiracy theory (very intelligent and well developed concept).
The old lady's bedroom - 5 stars
I don't know why but this one really moved me. It's a small but well written story about childhood and dreams.
Overall this was a really good collection of classic children literature which everyone can enjoy.

This is probably my favorite book in the series. It has all the classics. The only thing to note is that starting with this book the stories are condensed. So you may only get a chapter or two out of the full story.
