*thank you to Netgalley and Arcturus Digital for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

4 stars.

What a wonderful collection! This is such a mix of 49 stories that you are sure to see a few atleast that you have not heard before. I enjoyed all of them and this is definitely one to add to children's bookshelves. The illustrations are very good. My only issue is that I wish there were slightly more pictures, and that alone is the only reason this is 4 stars and not 5. Maxine Barry did an amazing job of this book. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed how they took stories from all cultures and brought it together into one compilation. From Sinbad the Sailor's First Journey to the Queen of Winter, this book is magical in every way.
