Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables

I purchased this book so that we had some extra good old fashioned stories to read to my little boy as part of his bedtime routine. He is only 1 but at the moment loves looking at the different pictures and helping me turn the pages. It’s lovely to be able to read stories from my childhood and now begin to introduce them to him. The quality of the book is great and allows it to stay sturdy even when my little boy gets his hands on it. The length of the stories is perfect to keep his attention and slot easily into our routine. Lots to choose from and by the time you’ve finished you’ll be able to go back to the start and feel like the first stories are fresh again. A great book that can be used time and time again and last a good while. Highly recommend to any parent or even for a child who is a keen reader. Nicely illustrated and fun to read!

Bought this as my daughter had a term on traditional stories at nursery. This was perfect in that the stories were short to keep her interested and the illustrations beautiful. All the traditional stories are in there and summed up really well without taking too long to get through. Perfect for a quite read before bed!

already had bought this book for other grandchildren and now bought it for my other granddaughter they have all loved the bed time stories the stories are short and the pictures are colourful lovely book

A superb book. Beautifully produced. Lovely illustrations.

Glad I bought this book. It has many stories and the illustrations are bright and colourful, currently read this to my newborn.

Lots of stories you might know, and lots you might not, but all shaved down to fit into a quick bedtime story routine. Really good if you’re reading for comfort rather than to have the little one gripped by the storyline, we have been through the book several times now and don’t plan to stop yet!

The book is perfect for my 4 yr old. Stories are not too long and not too short. so many stories to choose from. highly recommend

My daughter loves choosing a couple of stories each night as they all take 5 minutes. The pictures are lovely, it's traditionally written, sturdy and such a lovely way to end the day together

Our little one loves this book. We read from it every evening. The stories are truly five-minute stories. Short and enjoyable. There are few stories that we didn't like too much, but most of them are well adapted.

It is just as described. A great book with all the best fairy tales in it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good bedtime book for children. It's a good size but also small for easy storage. Has lots of fun pictures to go along with the stories. The stories are short and sweet, so you can read a few each night. Reading to children is so very important and really impacts them more than we realize. It helps grow their vocabulary and imagination. It is such a special bonding experience also! It helps them calm down and prepares them for a restful sleep. Children hearing our soothing voices reading these stories to help lull them off to their little dream lands can help in ways we can't even imagine! I highly recommend grabbing this book and enjoying every night with your children. Also great for nap time stories or just regular old anytime story time!

Excelente libro. Ninguna historia se repite. Las ilustraciones son muy bonitas. Ideal para leerle a los peques.

Comprei para minha filha treinar o inglês e ela gostou bastante. As histórias são bem conhecidas e o vocabulário é relativamente simples, com inglês de pré-intermediário já é possível ler.

Ein sehr schönes Buch! Sowohl die Illustrationen als auch die Verarbeitung sind sehr hochwertig.
