Altough these stories are meant for younger kids, they are timeless and are perfect for kids of all ages. But as a fair warning, this first story does starts out with the death of a parent. Like, in the first four pages. That's heavy-handed storytelling, and this book is better than that. But this story does redeem itself soon after. That is because the storytelling is strong.
