I just reviewed Read To Your Toddler Every Day by Lucy Brownridge。 #ReadToYourToddlerEveryDay #NetGalley Just what I like！ Stories from all over the world， wrapped up in a nice bundle called book。 This one even got some kind of patch design as illustration。 So pretty and a very nice read for both kids and adults。

This is an amazing book of stories written or spoken worldwide， throughout the history。 Some of them are well known， like the story about the ugly duckling or the king Midas， but some of them I read for the first time。 I must say it is an excellent collection of stories。 They are really well adjusted for an early age and followed by some exquisite embroidery artwork。 All of the stories carry their advices and many of them could really be used to teach a kid a valuable lesson when needed。

I decided to read this， even though the blurb gave me pause。 This bit was concerning - "carries a message of empathy， friendship and care for the world around us" Now， those seem like good things， and they are。 But， I worried the stories would be too moralistic and wouldn't focus on the story。 That was definitely true for some of the stories but not all of them。 I am not a fan of stories that are strongly moralistic， though they can have their uses。 I prefer the message， if a story must have one I decided to read this， even though the blurb gave me pause。 This bit was concerning - "carries a message of empathy， friendship and care for the world around us" Now， those seem like good things， and they are。 But， I worried the stories would be too moralistic and wouldn't focus on the story。 That was definitely true for some of the stories but not all of them。 I am not a fan of stories that are strongly moralistic， though they can have their uses。 I prefer the message， if a story must have one， to be woven into the story subtly。 So， that was something I knew I probably wouldn't like about the book。 As you can see from the blurb， the book has a nice variety of stories from around world。 The stories that I was familiar with were slightly changed， mildly updated for modern readers; in some cases， shortened。 While I agree that one should read to their toddler every day， I don't see these as being stories for toddlers。 They are short， which is good， but the stories are not likely to catch and hold their interest， and many are strongly moralistic， as I mentioned earlier。 The artwork is good and the color scheme soothing， all of which should appeal to young children。 Each mini-story has one， maybe two illustrations。 I think this book would work better for children four years or older， not toddlers。 。。。more

A lot of the short stories I myself had not heard of before I found myself enjoying them as well。 While reading the stories to my daughter I found her wanting to point to the pictures that was the only downside to this novel。 I plan on buying this novel that way she can point to the pictures and enjoy the stories longer and hopefully she will pass them on to her children one day。

3。5 starsThe embroidery artwork in this collection of folk tales from around the world was beautiful。 I found myself wishing there was more of it， because most of the pages are dominated by the text。 It was hard to hold my toddler's attention without as many photos。 This might be better for an older toddler （mine is 2 so the illustrations are a huge part of her reading engagement right now）。 3。5 starsThe embroidery artwork in this collection of folk tales from around the world was beautiful。 I found myself wishing there was more of it， because most of the pages are dominated by the text。 It was hard to hold my toddler's attention without as many photos。 This might be better for an older toddler （mine is 2 so the illustrations are a huge part of her reading engagement right now）。 。。。more

This books is an adorable collection of short stories from around the world。 Some were a bit long for my toddler's attention span， but they loved it overall。 The illustrations are embroidery and absolutely lovely！ Along with each story's value on its own， I think this book would be great for children to use in school or homeschool by reading the story and studying the country of origin。 This would be a wonderful book to give as a gift， and although the title says toddler， I believe this book cou This books is an adorable collection of short stories from around the world。 Some were a bit long for my toddler's attention span， but they loved it overall。 The illustrations are embroidery and absolutely lovely！ Along with each story's value on its own， I think this book would be great for children to use in school or homeschool by reading the story and studying the country of origin。 This would be a wonderful book to give as a gift， and although the title says toddler， I believe this book could be used through all of elementary school in varying ways。 。。。more

I think the name of the book is a bit misleading to the content。 This book is full of not so common and a bit long to read fables with lovely， but a bit boring for toddlers， pictures。 I think if the stories had been spread out on more pages so there were fewer words on a page with more pictures it might help。

A fun and thoughtful collection of tales/fables from around the world - this book will give young kids the chance to learn simple life lessons as well as get a glimpse into different cultures。 The "sewn" illustrations are a unique addition to the text。 A fun and thoughtful collection of tales/fables from around the world - this book will give young kids the chance to learn simple life lessons as well as get a glimpse into different cultures。 The "sewn" illustrations are a unique addition to the text。 。。。more

This book contains a collection of short stories from around the world that's ideal to share especially at bedtimes。 The writing is easy to read because of the font style。My son who just turned 4 was able to listen to each story。 He liked the colourful pictures and thought the stories were entertaining。 I think we would prefer a hard copy， a book that you can read over and over again。 This book contains a collection of short stories from around the world that's ideal to share especially at bedtimes。 The writing is easy to read because of the font style。My son who just turned 4 was able to listen to each story。 He liked the colourful pictures and thought the stories were entertaining。 I think we would prefer a hard copy， a book that you can read over and over again。 。。。more

This is a lovely little collection of diverse short stories。 I liked the variety of the stories， and the notes on their place of origin。 The illustrations were unique - they looked like they were sewn。 There could be more illustrations in order to catch and keep the attention of a young toddler。 My 4 year old did enjoy the shorter one page story， but his attention dissipated for the longer ones。 I received a digital copy of this book for free from the publisher on Netgalley in exchange for an ho This is a lovely little collection of diverse short stories。 I liked the variety of the stories， and the notes on their place of origin。 The illustrations were unique - they looked like they were sewn。 There could be more illustrations in order to catch and keep the attention of a young toddler。 My 4 year old did enjoy the shorter one page story， but his attention dissipated for the longer ones。 I received a digital copy of this book for free from the publisher on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

3，5/5。 Interesting anthology of very short stories between one and four pages long for parents to read to their kids before bedtime， or anytime who am I to organize your schedule like that。。。 Anyway I like the idea of bringing stories from various culture and place from around the world。 The stories， like every anthology， have some high and some low but overall a bit of everything where everyone should be able to find something worth for them。

A great collection of traditional not so typical short stories。 Perfect for a quick read or a few at bedtime。 Lovely illustrations。

Very interesting fables， many of which I have never read before。 Most have a good moral to the story that will provide a good way for parents （or guardians） to discuss different topics with their child （or children）。 Love the title as parents should make time to read to their kids every day。A copy of Anansi the Spider is in my library （copyright 1972） and rarely does a patron check it out。 My concern is that this lovely book would also not be properly appreciated。 Therefore， it is up to libraria Very interesting fables， many of which I have never read before。 Most have a good moral to the story that will provide a good way for parents （or guardians） to discuss different topics with their child （or children）。 Love the title as parents should make time to read to their kids every day。A copy of Anansi the Spider is in my library （copyright 1972） and rarely does a patron check it out。 My concern is that this lovely book would also not be properly appreciated。 Therefore， it is up to librarians to use this book during story times and immerse parents in these fantastic fables。I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review。 。。。more
