"Well-illustrated version of the old classics. These stories are public domain, so the reason to seek out a book version is only if the publisher has done something extra to make the book nice. They tried their best with this version, with lots of full-color and line drawings filling out the pages. " — Daniel (4 out of 5 stars)

" I am reading this to my 7-year old in short bedtime-story-length segments. The story is obviously a classic, and the illustrations are beautiful. So far Anju loves it! "
" Mine is a leather bound issue, part of a collection Dalmatian Press released in 2004. "
" Can't believe I never read this as a kid! "

" I think I was a bit too old for this. I liked the white seal story the best though. I also caught a bit of racism in it, not too bad; but still racism. "
