First Favourite Tales - Fab series for 2 year olds - By: Jennifer Cochrane, 13 Dec 2007 
I bought this entire series to give as birthday & christmas presents, to my 2 year old daughter & to other children. They have been a massive hit. The illustrations are lovely and, like the Snuggle Up series, the way they are written with rhyme & repetition as a central theme make them irresistible to toddlers. My daughter loves these books & wants to read them again & again, & they encourage her to joinin too. I really wanted to introduce her to some of the classic fairy stories & this is a great, updated, way of doing so. Highly recommended.
Excellent! - By: Fairynuff, 04 Feb 2004 A well told, simply illustrated version of a classic tale.
My daughter requests this book every night before bed & loves to finish each page herself (although she can't yet read).
Also mythologically correct about the elves not returning after they're given new clothes!

A classic children's story - By: , 10 Jan 2004 An absolute classic! A really good example of this story by Jacob Grimm.
Superb book as a bedtime story - By: , 13 Jun 2001 My 3 year old girl loves this book, & I must admit, so do I. As a book to read at bedtime, its perfect. Firstly it reads nicely - there's quite a bit of rhymein the text, so after a couple of readings it starts to roll off the tongue quite fluidly. Secondly, the story content is just right - not too scary like Red Riding Hood - a nice happy-ending tale. Thirdly, the book looks & feels good - nice size, hardback but not heavy, & good colourful illustrations.
Allin all, just right for bedtime - certainly the one I choose off the bookshelf whenever daddy is allowed to choose!!
