Great Bedtime Stories,
By
This review is from: Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book (Hardcover)
This book contains 40 stories from all over the world -- and they are the perfect length to tell at bedtime, 2-4 pages each. There are selections from Africa, Java, Brazil, Japan, North America, France, Russia, Egypt, Spain, Norway, Wales, Austrailia, Scotland, Puerto Rico, Greece, England, Finland, Germany and India -- and one new selection by the author. However they are all great stories (there isn't even one that I wouldn't want to read to my daughter) with sweet illustrations. You could probably even read 2 or three stories a night in the same time it would take to read a regular story book.

great read aloud for young and old,
By
This review is from: Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book (Hardcover)
These stories are timeless; they relate complex moral truths in a palatable symbolic form. They are well written for interesting and animated storytelling. They are not very long. In a nutshell, this book contains the perfect recipe for my active three-year-old! And you'll love the stories, too!

Wow!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book (Hardcover)
What adorable and likeable stories - my five year old can't get enough of them. Is it a good sign when Mom is sick of reading them because they've been requested so much? This book,and a book of quirky, local bedtime stories from Florida (Bob-Tales by Bob Morgan) are the only two Leslie will let me read to her at night! Buy them both now!!
