The Nursery Storybook

Eight of the most popular traditional nursery stories including 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', 'The Three Little Pigs', 'Little Red Riding Hood', and 'The Gingerbread Man' are gathered here in a large format hardback volume which gives plenty of room for generously sized and spaced text. The whole book is a pleasure to use and to share. The retellings are fresh and lively designed very much to engage the listener: 'By this time the wolf's tummy was gurgling like a drain ... You see how greedy he was!' There are also some delightfully humorous embellishments: 'Big Billy-Goat Gruff had two terrible horns like battering rams, and he could butt like a bulldozer.' The splendid watercolour illustrations are equally inspired, pacy, detailed and humorous.
