First reviewed on 7/31/09, Yummy: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales remains, by far, the best collection of fairy tales for the five and under crowd. And believe me, having read at story time for seventeen years and read to my own kids for even longer, little kids LOVE fairy tales - even the scary ones, and Cousins' have just the right amount of scary in them! <!-- START INTERCHANGE - YUMMY -->if(!

If you have read Yummy!

hi, does any of those children books (henny penny, 3 little pigs, Red riding hood etc) have any scary illustrations like the wolf/fox eating other characters or being pictured with a fat tummy?<br /><br />Thanks!
I'm not sure I can answer that question without really knowing what you/your child consider scary.

Thanks for your kind answer, it was really helpful.
Glad to know that! Thanks so much for reading my blog!
Lucy Cousins in a fave. We will be checking it out!
