Review: This edition was published around my freshman year of high school. I thought it looked cool, but I don't believe I read it then or before. I saw it on a must-read kindergarten list, so I picked up a copy from the library to read to my daughter. She loved the story, and enjoyed the illustrations. This is a board book, and I HATE it when publishers put children's classics in board book form, because I'm always afraid they abridge them. I don't believe they did here, and for that I'm greatful. This would be a great story to introduce Christian children to folk tales, explaining that different cultures have different stories they tell their children, and sometimes these stories are put in book form to share. I think children need to be familiar with traditional folk tales, no matter what culture they are from. This is a wonderful story, and I was very pleased with it.
