Book Reviews of The Blue Fairy Book (Dover Children's Classics)
Book Review: Only one complaint...
Summary: 5 Stars
... it's not hardcover!
I am seriously considering having this book custom bound - maybe after we purchase the others in the collection, we'll look for a bulk binding discount.
This introduction to the (colorName) Fairy series is simply fantastic - in every sense of the word. The stories included are wonderful, the language is complex, immersive, and engaging. This collection includes the original images as well.
These are rich stories collected from the world over and recorded before the concerns about political correctness watered down the morals and consequences for bad behavior. These stories enthrall our children and teach - in very memorable ways - that there is a price associated with the choices we make.
The stories are a little long for VERY small children - our three year old is learning to sit through them - but it is totally worth it. Our seven and four year olds just LOVE these stories.
I can give this collection the highest of recommendations and without hesitation recommend this to anyone who appreciates great storytelling.
