These include humorous stories, fantasy stories, rhyming stories and stories from a range of cultures.

Reviews

[Little Miss and the Legomeister · Rating 2 out of 5]

Little Miss liked the ending, she laughed anyway. The story was very simple and brief. Obviously intended for very young children.

The illustrations are cute, but definitely an imitation of Richard Scarry.

[Elizabeth Day · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a picture book than a story book, so it was kind of disappointing in its lack of story since that’s what I was expecting. The art is really pretty though and the text is definitely good practice for new readers.
