COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 3—Six traditional tales—Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Ugly Duckling, The Princess and the Pea, and Jack and the Beanstalk—are faithfully retold here. Original sources are noted (e.g., Hans Christian Andersen). While true to earlier tellings, these use contemporary language, which is effectively and expressively read by Miriam Margolyes in a pleasing British accent.
VERDICT Tales can be listened to one by one or consecutively and provide a fine introduction to a well-known group of traditional tales.
