The Fisherman and his Wife was my sons favorite bedtime story when I use to read to him. I have to laugh because he is now a grown man and now has a brand new baby daughter Remi she is two weeks old now. We moved around alot and somehow the book came up missing so when my daughter had her first child, I ordered one for my 5 year old grandaughter and now it is time to get this brand new baby girl one. I know my son will enjoy reading this story to her, and it has such a good message. If you have never read this, buy it and I know you will understand the moral of the story. It's a great story to add to your library, just be sure you know its packed if you ever move or like me you will be replacing it. I think everyone should read it...I don't want to spoil the story for you but it will teach your children about priorities and the simple things in life are better then greed.
I purchased this book for my first grade students who are studing tall tales & fairy tales. The book did not have a preview on line, therefore I did not know that the book did not include any pictures. So for my first graders this book was a waste of my money.
One of my favorite children's story.However, I bought it mainly for the art work and I am delighted.I also have one of the posters which are very nicely done as well.
The fisherman and his wife can take any number of retellings and some are better than others. The story is a great parable about greed and the misuse of power and appeals to many age groups. I would like a few more versions of it to add to my collection.
