 I wish I wouldn't have bought this one September 15, 2008

I bought this book after reading several great reviews. I had high hopes, but was very disappointed. I do not like the stories at all. Not to mention, they are long and the pictures are almost non-existant. It's just not my kind of book. br / br /My boys did not enjoy it either. They are 2.5 and almost 3.5 years old and love to be read to. They're not picky, but they really dislike this one. I've tried to read it to them several times (despite my not liking it) and they are running to the bookshelf to get different books the second they see it. br / br /It "might" be a good choice for older children (I would say no younger than 8 years), but definitely not for younger ones.

I ordered this book for my newly adopted son, my partner and I read it to him almost every night! He absolutely loves it! Despite a few editing errors, it is a fabulous book with wonderful fairy tales including families of all different types. br /I am going to purchase this book for my sons school, it is a must have for any family!
Matter-of-Fact Fairy Tales December 20, 2004

My son loved these stories. They are fairy tales with magic boots, kings, queens, etc. but with various family constellations presented very matter-of-factly. They are not preachy but convey values that (...) (such as, being different does not mean you're bad) in a fun way.
