Children's Story Collection
This collection of 7 children's stories is a must have. At just $3.99 per book it is well worth getting all 7, which will qualify you for free shipping. Amazon doesn't offer these as a set, but they may be purchased separately. This collection of 7 stories makes a great gift for a young child.
The Brothers Grimm
The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales
This collection of "classics" certainly is a departure from the Disney versions. The tales are mostly very dark and pessimistic, as originally
recorded by the Brothers. For the more "colourful" childrens stories it is better to buy the specific tales below instead of a collective
book.
Hans Christian Anderston
The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales
While I like having the collection and while the illustrations are very nice - the pages themselves are much closer to newspaper-stock than what
I'd expect from a durable, long-lasting book. Very thin, gritty, and easily tearable. This book is not ment to be in the hands of children. For
more "colourful" children's versions of these stories see the links below.
Aesop's Fables
Aesop's Fables (Oxford World's Classics)
This new translation is the first to represent all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. It includes 600 fables, many of which come from sources never before translated into English. Again this version is not really ment for the hands of children. I would suggest one of the following below for children
Aesop's Fables Kindergarten-Grade 4-A visually
appealing selection of 61 fables that mixes the well known ("The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare") with some that have been
nearly forgotten ("The Mermaid and the Woodcutter"). In tone and format, this book is reminiscent of early 20th-century Aesop collections for
children.
