Goodreads

Fans of Lucy Cousins will love this new, short collection of fairy tales taken from her larger anthology, Yummy. This collection includes: Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and The Enormous Turnip. Her signature illustrations make the aforementioned fairy tales engaging and also softened for the youngest readers. The Enormous Turnip is particularly condensed in this version, which is my only criticism.

This small collection of Cousins’ work will allow teachers and librarians to read her stories out loud without having to hold the large and heavy book, Yummy. I recommend this one for those who are only looking for a few of her stories, otherwise, this publication is a bit redundant.
