My daughter was reading these books in school, so I purchased a set for her at home since she was telling me about them and laughing long after she got home from school. I wanted to see what I was missing so I have been reading them to her at bed time. We have enjoyed The Adventures of Reddy Fox, The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse and The Adventures of Grandfather Frog, thus far. It is an enjoyable experience because while I am reading them for the first time, my 6 year old knows what's coming from her experience at school and she is having a great time enjoying her "secret". The stories are enjoyable to read even as an adult, and not the mindless clutter that so many children books are.
