Wonderful bedtime stories
My five-year old adores the stories in this book. This has been our "special bedtime book", and every night at bedtime we read another of the short stories in this anthology. The stories are just the right length - about 5-10 minutes long. My only negatives about the stories in this book have been 1) a Christmas related story (just one) which is...

My five-year old adores the stories in this book. This has been our "special bedtime book", and every night at bedtime we read another of the short stories in this anthology. The stories are just the right length - about 5-10 minutes long.My only negatives about the stories in this book have been 1) a Christmas related story (just one) which is inappropriate because we're Jewish, and 2) a folk-tale which talks about "beating" a dog, "slaughtering" an ox, etc. The latter is done in an "old lady who swallowed the fly" style, but it required a little explanation. On the whole, though, a terrific book which lets children imagine the vivid imagery in the stories (there are only a few black and white drawings as illustrations). This is a story-telling, not picture book.
