Review:
This is a lovely collection of traditional nursery rhymes and fairy tales - it has been illustrated by a number of different people, so the style of pictures changes from page to page. This is not off-putting though, as the pictures are all very bright and appealing.
The biggest gripe I have about this book is that the longer stories (The Ugly Duckling, and Little Red Riding Hood) are interspersed with the shorter rhymes - I would have preferred to have them at the end of the book, separately, as it broke the rhythm of reading through the rhymes, to suddenly have a few pages of longer story.
However, the stories are well known, and the rhymes are mostly well known - there's a couple there that I hadn't heard of before - and both my 1 and 3 year olds enjoy reading this book. Incy Wincy is the most requested rhyme, probably because of the beautiful picture of the spider on the front cover!
My rating: 3.5 out of 5.
