These fairy tales, such as Snow White, Puss in Boots, and several other classics, are perfect to read to young children. They tell each story in a simple way that is easy to understand. Throughout the book there all little illustrations that show what is happening in each tale. After each fairy tale, there are two pages which make up one big picture of the whole story. I think anyone who wants to read fairy tales for the first time would benefit from reading this book. ( )

This compilation of several fairytales is a timeless way to teach young children that good will always prevail over bad. With primitive, yet gorgeous artwork, fairytales such as Little Red Riddling Hood and Snow White are engraved in European folklore and allow children to envision how helpful and persistent demeanors will bring promising endings.

I had a love/hate feeling with this book. On one hand, the several stories give information to many stories and take you on mini adventures but this may draw focus from diving into just one story. Little red riding hood, Rumplestiltskin, Snow White, Puss in boots, and Beauty and the beast are stories that need to be given their own times and books to truly grasp the beauty of the works. This collection provides a little information to how and why fairy tales are written and allows you to poke your toes in the water. You can hear the general plot of each story. This book reminded me much of the Netflix series Once Upon a time where many fairy tales are told at one time. Moses says at the end of this book something I felt but could never quite put into words, I will hold this dear for the rest of my life: " I believe these stories are popular because they cleverly reflect upon the core fabric of who we are as people; our uncertainties and strength; our fear of loss, of hunger; our worries about money, love, death, danger, and abandonment; but they also provide life lessons about the rewards of optimism, determination, strength of character, and the belief that no matter how hard times may get, if you just keep moving you will come out okay. " I could have never stated this so well. This book made me realize again just what reading is really for enjoyment and to feel safe and included in the unity of the world. ( )
