We bought it in the airport in Bali and started reading it right away. My 5-year old daughter and my husband were both very fascinated by the stories. Each story carries its own moral, and has a cultural and geographical value. The illustrations are beautiful.

Potentially interesting with a rare collection of stories local children grew up with. Colorful illustrations but need more zest in the writing.

The overall stories are very good. The kindle version has MANY typos that need to be fixed.

Wonderful stories, love reading these to my daughter.

the book contain is good but it's too boring and the letter is too small for the kids to see.more picture will get the children more excited
