Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this review copy.

I sat with my 2 and a half year old and we read some of these stories together. The stories mix the better known like Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs etc, with the less well known like Clever Rabbit (a rabbit who arranges a tug of war with a whale and an elephant) and Hare is Scared (Hare is scared and scares the other animals but it's just a mango falling).

My daughter liked the illustrations and I thought they were nicely drawn and engaging. I think it would make a nice gift for a child, perhaps for a Christening / Baptism or First Birthday.

Beberapa cerita baru saya tahu dan justru itu yang bikin buku ini tambah bagus.
Ilustrasinya bagus. Sayang, beberapa cerita ending-nya gitu banget. Terlalu flat dan sebenernya berpotensi bikin anak-anak makin penasaran apa yang terjadi selanjutnya.
Which is good, bikin anak berimajinasi tinggi tapi bikin capek yang ngebacain nanti, lol.

This is a wonderful collection of both well known fairy tales and ones that were new to me. These stories were a hit with my 2y/o and 4 y/o, but a little too young for my 6.5 y/o.

The illustrations in this book are bright, beautiful, and able to help the younger ones stay entertained by the stories.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.*
