Reviews

[Eva-Marie Nevarez]

This is almost the perfect little bedtime story book- there are multiple stories included, some well known, others not, and they're long enough to be considered a "real" story while not long enough to give your kid a second wind while reading. Each story is about 6 pages long (kiddie-book pages) and stories like Goldilocks are all time favorites for my daughter. The Missing Scarf (I think that's the title) I had never heard of along with Little Tim and His Brother Sam but both were decent stories.
I would recommend to parents of older toddlers who can sit through a longer story and toddlers who want "real" stories instead of just a few words.
