The Golden
Book of Fairy Tales
Fabulously illustrated, this famous fairy tale book has been around
for years. Now, reprinted, this beautiful oversized book contains
28 famous fairy tales. The reading level is slightly higher than
that of the Random House fairy tale we offer in 1st grade. One
thing I like about both of these books for younger children is that they
focus on the "sweet" fairy tales rather than on the more frightening
ones.$19.99 hc

better! In fact, the story is quite different and the characters
are more likeable.
