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
