This book contains some of Hans Christian Anderson's classic folk stories. Some of the stories are a little long-winded, and some this edition does not have enough pictures to keep a younger child's interest. This book is better for reading aloud if you just want to tell a story without visuals. The pictures do not have colors and are not very engaging. Although photocopies could be made for students to color. The stories do have great morals for students to ponder. ( )
