This is a lovely little collection of diverse short stories. I liked the variety of the stories, and the notes on their place of origin. The illustrations were unique - they looked like they were sewn. There could be more illustrations in order to catch and keep the attention of a young toddler. My 4 year old did enjoy the shorter one page story, but his attention dissipated for the longer ones. I received a digital copy of this book for free from the publisher on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A great collection of traditional, but not so typical short stories. Perfect for a quick read or a few at bedtime. Lovely illustrations.

This is a compilation of various children's stories. There isn't a ton of artwork here and it is quite a lot of words. For toddlers, having more pictures would probably be more entertaining. One story just has a bunch of pears on the pages. It certainly wouldn't hold my toddlers attention for the length of the stories - stories range from 1-4 pages full of writing.

Adorable!! Fun to read and look at!

Very interesting fables, many of which I have never read before. Most have a good moral to the story that will provide a good way for parents (or guardians) to discuss different topics with their child (or children).
Love the title as parents should make time to read to their kids every day.
A copy of Anansi the Spider is in my library (copyright 1972) and rarely does a patron check it out. My concern is that this lovely book would also not be properly appreciated. Therefore, it is up to librarians to use this book during story times and immerse parents in these fantastic fables.

A fun and thoughtful collection of tales/fables from around the world - this book will give young kids the chance to learn simple life lessons as well as get a glimpse into different cultures. The "sewn" illustrations are a unique addition to the text.
