Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Fairy Tales
Thomas Nelson · 2015
65/100
👎 Skip It
Thomas Nelson's production quality is evident in the padded cover and nine-story value, and rhyming fairy tales for lap-reading genuinely work with the three-to-seven set. But without any critical coverage of the retelling quality and with competing illustrated fairy tale collections from more specialized children's publishers, this one does not stand out enough to recommend over better-documented alternatives.
