Lucy Cousins knows how to create stories for a young audience. She shortens these fairy tales so toddlers and preschoolers will sit and listen to them yet includes all the important story elements/themes of each story. Both my boys, ages six and four, enjoyed them.
Stories included: Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Enormous Turnip, Henny Penny, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Pigs and The Musicians of Bremen.
The table of contents has a small drawing of the main character so a child can know/"read" which stories they would like to read.
Warning: In Little Red Riding Hood, the hunter chops off the wolf's head and the reader sees the head flying across the page!
