Here is a timeless treasury of the beloved stories from traditional sources that are an important part of every child's heritage. Exquisitely illustrated in full color throughout, this wonderful collection includes the deliciously scary "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and the warm and tender "The Star Money," as well the "The Cock and the Mouse and the Little Red Hen," "The Lion and the Mouse," and, of course, "The Three Bears" and many others. There are favorites from the brothers Grimm and other European and American sources, funny folktales from the British Isles, and fables from La Fontaine and Aesop. Each of the sixteen stories is fully illustrated with clear, bright watercolor paintings on every page. Distinguished author-artist Anne Rockwell has retained the wording of the best version of each, making only such changes as were needed to make the story clear and appealing for today's young readers, listeners, wigglers, and viewers.
