And although i didn't see the book, i ordered it for my 5 yr old grandson on the west coast, his mom reported that they got it and love it, although she reads through it first because the stories sometimes have some cruelty in them such as the Tin Soldier being thrown into the fire by the jealous Jack in the Box! I am on the fence about screening these stories as i feel that they are allergorical and that is what imparts wisdom to a child, but i don't blame her for doing that, so that is why i am on the fence.
This book was HUGE ^_^ but the book is beautiful and their appeared to be no true wear and tear. I hope the child I gave this too enjoys Mr. Christian's classics as much as I enjoy them. Another awesome point! They are written almost exactly as any great translation but with a little more simplicity for the kiddies! And the illustrations are GORGEOUS! I would've enjoyed this as a child.
I read Andersen's Fairy Tales as a little kid and learned a good lesson that I still remember thesedays. I was hoping to find that story here but did not. It contains only a few but still a good book with good illustrations. I will need to buy some more books and I think I will wait for my three year old to grow up a bit older before I read him the book again.
This book contains many tales by Hans Christean Anderson that entertain children of all ages. My children did a play about Hans Christean Anderson and after reading the book they love his stories even more. It is a wonderful book that brang enjoyment to my whole family! I recommend it for your kids as well!
LOVE this book. So many childhood memories.
