Year Full Of Stories

Ok, the truth is I have been coveting this book for quite some time now. It is just so beautiful and I have a weakness for beautiful books. It took me a while to bite the bullet because I didn't necessarily NEED it for our home school curriculum this year so I just pined over it for awhile until I just finally couldn't take it anymore! I do not regret it, This book is just as gorgeous as I knew it would be and the stories are great. They are the perfect length to keep little ears interested and entertained (we read it in our morning basket time in our home school) plus the illustrations are adorable. This is the kind of book I will keep and read to my grandchildren some day.

I gave this away as a gift but will be purchasing one for myself. Gave it to a friend to share with her granddaughter. Really eclectic collection of storied from around the world. Worth reading and sharing with young ones. Its a beautiful book.

We love the artwork in this book! Sweet stories! Love that they are seasonal. Easy to read without having to read every day and get behind!

This is a fun well illustrated book. We homeschool and have been reading a couple of these stories each week. My yongest loves the book and often wants to re-read the stories over and over.

I saw this book first at Anthropologie and decided to buy from Amazon for a cheaper price - the visual pleasure of this book is great and offers a great folksy watercolor visual to little eyes and parents. The stories are not the expected stories you have heard before for the different holidays like Valentine's day, etc. and draw mostly from European/Asian tales. Though I found the book to be pleasing to interact with the stories which are short and sweet, I couldn't help but feel something a little lacking in the telling of the stories - just not your typical Grimm or HCA, many times the stories felt truncated or too abridged that aspects felt missing. That being said, I would say the length of the stories are great for kindergarten and under listeners but the quality of writing and storytelling does lack which makes me give it only 4 stars.

The stories are short and sweet. Gives perspective about different culture with gripping imagination. I made my daughter point to the country or region mentioned in each story in the map. I would tell a little about that place so making her think about the world. She loves this book and reads it every night!

I purchased this book because of the many stories it contained. I sent it to my daughter to read to her child. They tell me they are enjoying the book very much. The book came very promptly after my order and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Love this book. It’s challenges young readers to listen to the stories. Great for 5th thru 9th. Helps them introduce many people or characters they are not familiar with...they will be excited about using them for a book report. Also, the artwork is great!

I have been reading this to my sons as bed time stories. I wanted give them an exposure to different cultures and understanding - this book is a great place to start for their age. My eldest loves to find out where the stories came from. He particularly loved that the legend of Gelert was in the book as he has visited Beddgelert a few times and he was able to connect the story to the place. I would highly recommend this book. I now need to order the others in the series!

Simplemente excelente compra!!! Son historias con mensaje de valor. Las ilustraciones, la calidad de papel y cada relato hará que el momento de lectura sea grandioso y muy esperado! Lo disfrutará el niñ@ (y el adulto también!) Excelente regalo!

I have been reading to my elementary aged grandkids during the lock down, and this is one of the books i have been reading. Stories are short and really neat. They are from all over the world. Recommend it (as a former preschool teacher)

I strongly recommend. It's a amazing gift for your children.

Looks like another beautiful book with fascinating stories. Delivered in excellent condition. The second book of the series that we have purchased.
