This book takes me back to when I was little and all the Golden Book stories with their beautiful illustrations that I was read to and then read for myself. I put a photo of the book and also the table of contents to explain better. The illustrations are superb and very colorful and cute.

I agree with the previous reviewer, that this is one book to be handed down through the family. Or, just hang on to it to enjoy for yourself. I love children's books and this is one of the ones that I will hang on to.

My parents saved this book from when I was a child as it was my favorite (printed 1967). Now I read the same book to my 2 year old and it's his favorite too!! While I agree it's somewhat dated ("daddies go to work" concepts vs. "parents") it really is a wonderful book and I read my own versions to my son - They just don't make books like this anymore.

... This is truly the best children's book ever. The stories may seem dated in so far as the era the stories take place in ("Someday we may go to the moon") but that only adds to the book's appeal. Simply put, a story about Daddies, mail carriers and fire fighters, are more engaging and more enjoyable than ANY adventure Elmo or the teletubies will ever have. If you can find this book, get it!

Tibor Gergely's Great Big Book of Bedtime Stories is the greatest children's storybook I have ever seen. It is a shame that it is out of print. If you have the means to pick up a used copy in decent shape, I highly recommend it. I grew up with these wonderful little stories as a child and have been looking for this book for the past 5 years. Now that I have internet access, I've been able to recover several pieces of literature that have stopped printing. If you enjoy reading stories to your little ones at night, find this book and buy it! You won't regret it.

Tibor Gergeley's Great Big Book of Bedtime Stories is the best children's book I have ever read. It has all of my favorite stories and has very cute and playful illustrations. I feel it is a shame that this wonderful book is out of print. The print is nice and large, and the vocabulary is perfect for small children. This is the best book written for a child's bedtime book I have found.
