Every line of his dazzling drawings quivers with comical intensity of feeling. Accessible, funny and direct. Not to be missed."" -- Amanda Craig * Times * ""Best-selling illustrator Tony Ross brings zest to this original mixture of familiar favourites and less well-known stories."" -- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading * ""Hilarious detail in both the text and the illustration which truly does leap off the page"" -- Louise Ellis-Barrett * armadillomagazine.com *

If you want your children to be bright, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be brilliant, read them even more fairy tales. <br>--Albert Einstein

The stories, nimbly retold, follow well-known story lines; what makes this volume appealing is Ross's artistic treatment. . . . Exaggerated characters, full of motion and fun, will hold youngsters' attention. -- School Library Journal on My First Nursery Stories
