Creation: Read-Aloud Stories from Many Lands

Rating:
Summary: A meaty but not wordy introduction for younger readers
Review: My 5-year old was looking for a book to address some deeper questions than most preschool books do, but wasn't ready for anything too wordy or scary. Some of these stories are a little sad or gruesome, as folk tales and fables are wont to be, but I felt the author did a good job of being true to content without being too graphic or frightening. I don't expect every child is looking for this kind of content, but if you've got a philosophical/inquisitive type, I'd definitely recommend this book as both a fun and though-provoking read in manageable, bite-sized portions.
