Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a compilation of reviews of classic children's books. We aren't all as well-read as we should be, so this guide is an excellent resource for helping to select suggested readings for your children (I have a son who just turned four, and this is a valuable resource). The text is written by many authors, allowing for a variety of perspectives. If you haven't read some of the stories, or perhaps only remember the Disney versions, you might be surprised when you actually crack open some of these books. Reading this wonderful guide before-hand will avoid any nasty surprises. The extent to which some of these stories made an impact on the lives of authors shines through, as adults fondly remember some of their most treasured stories.
