This children's story collection is part of our Core A Curriculum with Sonlight.
This book was a delightful read for the entire family. We read the stories over lunch and had such fun thinking about what was going on with the people and animals in the stories. It is neat to see how different animals are and how they can help humans. As soon as we finished one story I was asked for another.
This book is simple yet compelling in it's story telling and we were easily drawn in to what was happening. The pictures were lovely and picturesque taking you to the farm, city or countryside area that the story took place in.
This was also fun as a couple of our boys have interest in having animals or small farms and they enjoyed hearing how to care for them. It definitely stirred curiosity and gave them desire to know more.
It was humorous in one story that was told from the animals perspective, all of my children said, "how does he know what the lamb was thinking?" This allowed for a good dialogue about imagination and also the differences between animals and humans.
I'd give this story treasury 4 stars
This book does not fit into any reading challenge this year unless it is a book of my choice.
