I read this book prior to 2006, and it was a thick illustrated children’s book that contained several different stories. I believe most of the stories were based on legends or folktales. There was definitely at least one where a knight (I think St. George) slays a dragon to rescue a princess. There was also one where a little girl travels across the night sky as part of a quest, and I believe there was another short story where a little girl in a village had a magical watering can. There were illustrations on almost every page, but I still remember it being fairly word-heavy.

Coming back to this because I remember more details about the little girl that lived in a village. It wasn’t a magical watering can— she had a ladle. I think a relative of hers was sick, and she would collect water with the ladle. Something happens and the ladle turns into the Big Dipper in the night sky.
Coming back to mark this as solved, as I spoke with a relative recently and determined that this was The Children's Book of Virtues.
