Diverse Stories
Such a fun book! My toddler enjoys the stories and I like them too, a bunch of fun international myths and legends. I've heard maybe 1/4 of the stories, the rest are exciting and new despite being very old, traditional folktales.

A Nice Collection Of Stories
A charming collection of bedtime stories from around the world. While the book is well put together, I can’t give it 5 stars because the stories didn’t quite capture my kids’ interest—they seemed to listen out of courtesy rather than genuine engagement. I’ll likely pass it along to someone who will appreciate it more.

Wonderful
I love all the stories from around the world. Each night my son picks a continent and we read a different folktale from it. :) I will say that they aren't all 'bedtime stories' lol, but it is filled with fun, interesting, and bizarre, folktales from around the world - all kid-safe / 'appropriate' (nothing too scary or too adult-themed for kids). We've had a great time reading them and even bought one of their other books that has stories coinciding with each season or holiday through the year. :)

Love these books!
We own 4 of these books now and my son loves them. I also enjoy reading them to him. He is 4 years old with a creative spirit. He is always asking for “weird stories”… so these stories from all over the world keeps his interest. The illustrations are very pleasant to look at too.

This is a beautiful book containing 50 wonderful stories from around the world. The stories are perfect for bedtime, as they are short, calming and positive. My 6 year old daughter loves this collection as she enjoys learning about other cultures and loves interesting and unusual stories.
