A collection of very age-appropriate stories and games. The stories are exactly the right length for a child's attention span, some a very short read and others a bit longer (which I read at bedtime).Many of the shorter stories tell a tale with a message (as in My Pet Dinosaur Won't Eat His Vegetables). Most are not boring or preachy.Many of the longer stories are just pure entertainment (as in Shadow the Great Mouse Catcher).And then there are the games. Wonderful, easy traditional classic games like "find the difference between the two pictures" or "eye spy".Here are the things I like most about this collection: 1. Colorful pictures. The artwork varies from story to story, which is kind of fun. 2. The length of each story is perfect for my 5-year-old. 3. Variety. There are a ton of stories here, so I have plenty of ammunition for entertaining. 4. I like stories I can talk about with my kids...like, "What if we fed our vegetables to the dog like Spike did?"A great book for you kid library!
