Review: Classic stories, nicely illustrated, lots of pictures. - Lots of nice illustrations. Very engaging for my three year-old, who will come to understand the stories even more as he grows. We also own Usborne Illustrated Aesop Fables and Fairy Tales. This has more illustrations that Aesop, and shorter, less complicated stories than the Illustrated Fairy Tales book. All are great.
Review: Great book for young children of all backgrounds - I'm a huge fan of Usborne books. This one is no exception. Both my five year old girl and my seven year old boy like the stories in this book. It can be hard to find a book that appeals to both genders and both ages, but this one does the trick. My seven year old can read it easily on his own, so it won't be a reading challenge for that age range or higher. Seven years old is just right for self reading of this book. Yet, my son finds the stories interesting and engaging. I think an eight year old would as well, though the reading would be easy. This book is also very interesting for my five year old girl. I read the stories to her, and look forward to when she'll be able to read them on her own. I like the stories. They're different from the standard fare we usually see in kids' books. It's wonderful to see fables from other countries. Also, we are people of color, and it's refreshing to see so many stories with people of different hues. Many of the other "classic" stories, including those in the Usborne books, do not feature people of color. Seeing diversity in reading is just as important as diversity in life. All in all, a great book for young children of any background.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific stories (terrible book binding)
*by C***R on March 22, 2015*

I ordered this book after a fellow mom told me it was her daughter's (age 3) favorite bedtime book. It was an instant hit with both my children (ages 3 and 6), who ask to read stories from it almost every day. My 3-year-old is especially enthralled, but the 6-year-old enjoys the stories, too. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and the texts are just right -- not too long or wordy, but they get the stories across wonderfully. There are stories from India, China, Japan, the United States, England, Scandinavia, Russia, Ancient Greece, the Middle East, and South Africa. The only complaint I have is that the book binding fell apart within a month, with both back and front covers falling off completely. My kids are not especially gentle with their books, but this has never happened before so quickly with any other of their books. Also, there are no stories from Central or South America. Nevertheless, this book is a wonderful collection of stories from around the world, and I highly recommend it.
