Stories for Six Year Olds (Treasuries)

I bought this book for my cousin's daughter for her 6th birthday (of course!). I just happened to type into the search box "6 year old girl book" or something similar, and I found this book. If you are unfamiliar with children, this is the age many of them start to read, and get interested in reading things for themselves. The child will be able to read for themselves, co-read w/ you, and of course you can read to them. All are very helpful in learning. I highly recommend this book as a gift. My youngest daughter is turning 6 next month, so many of her friends will also be having their 6th birthday. I just might buy a few to have on hand for birthdays. Also, I don't think it is just for girls, I think boys would like the stories also.

i loved this as a kid, if it's the right one. it use to have an orange cover to it and had a similar look to that of the treasury of tales for 5, 7... year olds.now, i'm 16 and i can say that that book has influenced my love for reading. I enjoyed giacco and his bean!:)what's so great about it is that the stories come from different genres so whatever the mood there is always something for you and they aren't too long. the book is also written as if it were a novel. by now, it'd be great if your child could read small fonts without losing interest. i brought the book for storytelling in the first grade and everyone was surprised that the writing was so small. haha! the major plus: there aren't that many pictures so it will influence your child to explore on their own and use creativity rather than relying on the pictures. BTW, if you're wondering why I didn't get a 5 out of 5-I don't give anyting a perfect score. I'll give this a 4.5.:)

I was told that this book lives up to it's title, and I was told right! When I first looked through the stories I was unconvinced, but I began reading them to my six-year-old son anyway. He truly loved them! He requested them every night. His friends have enjoyed them just as much on sleep-overs. Something about these stories is directly in tune with this age group.
