Stories That Never Grow Old

This is absolutely the BEST collection of stories for children. The illustrations are numerous, colorful, and splendid. The stories are truly ones that "never grow old" and are of great interest to both the child being read to and the adult who is doing the reading. I received this book as a child, have read it to my three sons as they grew up, and am now reading it to my six grandchildren - all of whom have enjoyed it immensely!

A classic children's book that no child should grow up without. Pictures are colorful and stories well told - short enough to hold a child's interest but not long enough to make the child or the adult squirm. It was one of my favorites growing up in the 50's and again as I read it to my children in the 70's. This book is a wonderful gift from a favorite Aunt.

I recieved this book when I was 1-1/2 years old, and it was one of the first books I learned to read. Ever since then, it has remained one of my favorites, even into adulthood.The illustrations are some of the best I've ever seen in a book, and the stories are exactly as the title says, they never grow old, stories such as "The Ugly Duckling", "The Bremen Town Musicians" and "Billy Goat Gruff". (There are 15 stories in all.) the style of story telling is engaging at all ages, not too sweet nor too dry.
