This book came as part of our homeschooling curriculum for my 4 year old, an I have to say I'm quite a fan of this book now! The stories are all fantastic in teaching virtues to children, and they're also just plain entertaining as well.I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive at first that my 4-year-old would sit and listen. This book as many stories, each one covering 1-4 pages and it's not your typical kids picture book. There are pictures, but more words than pictures. I didn't think I would be able to hold my daughter's attention while reading these seemingly "long" stories to her. It was a little tricky at first, but now after just a few weeks she's much more attentive and really enjoys being read to--even if the story seems long and wordy with not enough pictures, she's still happy!I do think it helps when I read to her in a very expressive way, for example I don't just say the words, "The tiger growled at the bunny as it hopped away..." I'll read it to her and actually growl the word "growled" and then make a hopping motion when I read the word "hopped". I find this sort of action-infused reading helps her comprehend more and pay attention better.The stories are easy enough to understand but are also laved with a few creative words that are great to be able to point out to your child. Tonight I was reading her a story and the word crag came along, instead of just using the term rocky hill this book is infused with words that I can stop and point out to my child. But not TOO many of these words.The stories feature wonderful tales that are often cultural and have great virtuous meanings hidden in them.
