[Joy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I haven't timed these stories to see if they are actually three minutes or not but it has made decent bedtime reading. My four and five year olds both have Autism and the stories capture their attention.

I bought it because it had the stories that my five year old has become obsessed with (namely Goldilocks and the Three Little Pigs).

It has some common stories:
-Rip Van Winkle
-Little Red Riding Hood
-The Velveteen Rabbit
-The Ugly Duckling
-Goldilocks and the three Bears
-Puss in Boots
-Snow White
-The Pied Piper of Hamelin
-Henny Penny
-The Three Billy Goats Gruff
-Little Red Hen
-The Lion and the Mouse
-The Tortoise and the Hare
-The Three Little Pigs
Some not-so-common folk stories
-The Five Brothers (I believe it is Grimm)
-The Little Dutch Boy (he puts his finger in the dike)
And a few originals
-Little Witch
-Patch's Lucky Star
-Little Ant Goes to School
-Birthday Cake Mix-Up
