There's that short period of time before toddlers grow up and discover Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network when you can still enchant them with a classic fairy tale. If you open that door when they're young, they'll always love and want a bedtime story. This is a wonderful collection for reading aloud: eight traditional stories with broad appeal, from "The Princess and the Pea," "King Midas," "Stone Soup," and "The Lion and the Mouse," to lesser-known gems like "The Glass Mountain," "The Three Sillies," "The Enchanted Watch," and "The Little Red Hen." The magical visions and heroic adventures are brought to life with exquisite and imaginative new illustrations from Penny Dann. They make this edition one to grow on and an heirloom that will be cherished throughout the years.
