I purchased 3 books for 3 of my grandchildren. My children love these books because the stories are easy to read to the grandchildren and not long so that a story before bed is perfect. The story form is easy to understand so that the younger children aren't lost with the meaning of the stories and the pictures make the story come to life. My older grandson loves this book because he can read the stories himself and can understand the message. I would recommend this book for young children and also not so young children. The stories are terrific and the pictures are great.
