We have purchased practically the whole series of these books. I love the style of their illustrations. I am a teacher and this book was a big hit with our reading club ages 5-10!

Rip Van Winkle is a story I remember vividly from my childhood, and reading it to my four year old son has been enjoyable! The story seems to be slightly more embellished then I remember - with mentions of drunk little men - however it is still a cute and silly folk tale. My son really likes these older stories and listens intently whenever we read them, just as though it's the first time again.
