Sixteen chapters, I give it a seventy five out of one hundred. But for the emperor's new clothes, the last page.I'll give it a one hundred out of one hundred, because it's just so funny. Chicken little, ugly duckling, The emperor new clothes / last page, Pinocchio The townmouse and the country mouse Where my favorite all of these are my favorites.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears - KS1 - could be used for children to predict what happens next following the pattern. Children could create story boards and actions to go along with the story to re-cap and consolidate.

Rapunzel

The Three Little Pigs

Pinocchio

Pretty good book. I read this to my 6 year old and she was entertained for the most part on every story.

Beautifully illustrated and stories the perfect length for little ones. Aside from the demented Gingerbread Man… we just skip that one and read the rest!

My daughter loved the classic stories in this book! We read one a night and she looked forward to it. In Waldorf education, one waits until the age of 7 to read aloud fairy tales and fables. This was the perfect age to get the full meaning!
*Hansel and Gretel was the only story that was extremely upsetting to my daughter.
