In this beautifully illustrated book, 14 classic fairy tales are retold for young children. Old favorites, such as Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk, are presented alongside some lesser known stories, such as The Fisherman and his Wife and Diamonds and Toads. Mary Hoffman`s charming retellings use simple, lyrical language ideal for reading aloud, while Julie Downing`s illustrations bring the characters to life. The stories in this collection show the consequences of greed, pride, and vanity, but also tell of the love that grows from a kind heart and a cheerful nature. And along the way, there is a wealth of magic and fun to be enjoyed.

A range of questions help children and their grown-ups to think, and talk, about being kind to others and ourselves, as well as nature and our planet.

Its eyes were on long horns like a snail`s eyes... it had ears like a bat`s ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a spider`s and covered with thick, soft fur... and it had hands and feet like a monkey`s. `It` was the Psammead, the grumpy sand-fairy that could, if in the mood, grant a wish a day. When the five children befriend him they find that each wish granted often has a sting in its tail. Golden guineas are too difficult to spend, wings let them down in a most inconvenient way, and when they wish for Red Indians, the children forget that they can sometimes be a little warlike.
