This series provides a good introduction to the wealth of stories to be found around the world, and would make a good addition to a primary school library.
Desirable and collectable [...] What makes them work is their integrity and synergy as a series. [...] These stories cannot fail to stimulate your child's imagination and sense of wonder.
The selection of stories is interesting, and these books would be of great value in class.
Beautifully told stories matched by luscious illustrations ... enhanced by vivid colour and decorated borders
