A good read-aloud introduction to some of the best-known fairy tales: the retellings are very simple. I only wish there was a bit more of P.J. Lynch's art to go along with them. ( )

The retellings are told decently enough, but they are unimpressive when compared to the lovely illustrations by P.J. Lynch. Indeed, I would go so far as to say the illustrations overshadow the stories! ( )
