Customer Review: This book is full of great stories for kids, ages 1-100

This book, written by Lyman Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz and many other Oz books is possibly his greatest work ever. Everyone should read this classic book of American fairy tales

Customer Review: Stories with a moral AND interesting illustrations

This book gives interesting stories with a moral at the end of each story and has illustrations on each page. The stories vary in length but can be read quickly due to the author's writing style. While different from "Oz" books, these stories are still a lot of fun.

Product Description

Young cowboy lassoes Father Time; dummy in Mr. Floman's department store window comes to life; and 10 other fairy tales. 41 illustrations.

Customer Review: i really like it

the thing i like about this book is that it's got morals to the stories (the one for "the wonderful pump" was really amusing and i laughed when i read it). plus it has some really delightful stories. the reason why i didn't give it more stars was because the illustrations weren't really very interesting, plus there were none of the original illustrations in the book.
