I am a big believer in reading to my 5 year old son each night. I decided to do a search for something new, something I haven't read a least 50 times to him already. I stumbled across this book for free at amazon.com. I remembered reading some of these stories when I was younger, so I thought I would give it a shot. The illustrations were very well, but there is only one pic at the beginning of each short story. I had to change some of the words for my son to understand. All he pretty much got from the story was that the fox was a meany after I explained it to him. I think it would be a great book for someone of an older age, but not really what I was looking for in a younger children's book. It isn't a book I think that he will ask me to read to him again at this age. May be something he will enjoy more when he gets a little older. I did see a 2 of the stories in there that I knew, but I didn't know the one about the Fox and the Cat. I wasn't expecting the fox to be attacked and killed by dogs. I guess the fox really did learn something in the end, the hard way.
