My children, now 10 & 8 loved this book. It has all the nursery rhymes I had forgotten and more.

I actually still have this book from when I was a child. My mother bought it when I was only a year old. It has now been twenty years and I am still finding myself reading this book from time to time. I am now starting to think about raising a family and I look back at this book and I think all the stories are great. However some can be a little scary for really young children. The case in point I know of is the Story of the Minotaur. It is not a happy ending story and will no doubt keep kids up if they are impressionable. My personal favorites to this day are Nail Soup and the Nightingale. They all have great morals and are as much fun to read as they are to hear.

A Treasury of Bedtime Stories

This book means so much to me. Born in 1983, I have grown up with it. My mother used to read stories out of it every night. I love the selection, and the illustrations are so elaborate! In fact, my favorite story,"Pix Pax Pox", has had such a great "force" on my life, that I have named my screen name after it. "PixPaxPox@email.msn.com". I know that your children will love it too. Please buy this book so another generation of young readers can carry it on to their children.

Finally, in closing, I'd like to say that reading this book as a child has made me creative, and with an appreciation for literature. I moved on from this book to harder books, and am now reading Shakespeare and Plato. (I'm only 14!.) I have been accepted into the Gifted Education system, and so far have a 4.0 GPA.

I accredit all this to my humble beginings in "A Treasury of Bedtime Stories." I hope to hear your great reviews soon, too.

Cordially, Jared
