My First Book of Nursery Tales; Five Favorite Bedtime Tales

This is the most beautiful little storybook! The illustrations are so darling and the stories are written in a style that makes them fun to read, without changing the stories--they are the same stories we've all heard (and told) a hundred times. But with this delightful book, you don't weary of reading them again and again. The book is large so the child can see with you, but not thick and heavy. I have had this book in my home since 1983 and it has finally fallen to pieces. I can't tell you how happy I am to find it! And did I mention that the illustrations are really lovely!
