Illustrated Grimm's Fairy Tales (Usborne Illustrated Story Collections)

Good choice of stories, well told, enjoyable illustrations.

Nice book, a lot of stories

Perfect for reading together with my niece. Lovely illustrations.

This a lovely book. The stories are just the right length and the text is written in a size that a child, say 6 and upwards would be able to read. It is filled with lovely illustrations. I will enjoy reading it to my four year old and I'm sure she will enjoy reading it herself in a few years time. The only point to note is that is that the book is smaller than I thought it would be, but this is maybe good for a child to handle.

This is my 3.5 year old’s new favourite book – I think in the last 2 months she has only requested a different book 3 times at bedtime – it’s that good. The fairytales are the old stories, but a) Told in slightly simplified language b) Slightly updated for modern language patterns The stories’ wording is just right for young ones and I hardly have to tweak any of it when reading aloud (unlike other books such as Beatrix Potter when I have to paraphrase nearly all of it) for a little listener. The stories are just the right length for one or two a night. Of course the girls always need rescuing by a prince which is tedious, but that’s not the fault of this edition :) The illustrations are lovely, the reason I chose this above other fairy tale compendiums. They are not childish or simple, they are rich in colour and lovely to look at. The text/font is also very legible so it will be good too for when she starts to read herself.

Good value illustrations are great

Very pleasant at bedtime for my almost 7 year old son-quality stories and a very nice book

Bought for my daughter for Christmas, very beautiful, good quality, pictures are amazing, very happy with the purchase

Perfect book for our 6 and 8 yo girls who love to read. Especially the 6yo it's got some tricky words for her but it's building her confidence and she's loving the stories. I'm so happy to have found this!

It's for kids, so expected more colourful pictures/ illustrations

What a wonderful book written by outstanding authors, The Grimm brothers. Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs appear as they were actually written and intended. there a total of sixteen tales reproduced. Less recognizable tales such as The Goose Girl, The Bear And the Wren, Tom Thumb and The Twelve Dancing Princesses are included in this work. There is no fluff and little exaggeration. These stories are written as the Grimm Brothers wrote them nearly 200 years ago.. And they are refreshing as well as refreshing. As you read them to your little ones, you can always change words and meanings if your child isn't ready for the stark reality of the tales. These are not the tales that Disney portrays in movies and kids' books. Each story has some elements portrayed in them that reminds us of the Disney tales, but there is a big divide between Grimm and Disney. Keep this in mind should you read these tales to your young children. The book is made of quality paper. The illustrations are very good and colorful. Read the original versions by the Brother's Grimm then compare to Disney. It's a good book to own in your library. Like everything else in life, be careful how you use it around young and impressionable children.

Superb collection of fairy tales.. neat pages... My daughter loves to read it again and again... Love the illustrations

You can’t go wrong buying these Usborne books. They are truly beautifully made with colourful illustrations. I have purchased a number of them in my grandchildren love them.
