Summary: The best treasury around!
Comment: This is the best collection of children's books I've ever seen. As another reviewer said, it is an instant, portable library. This book can enhance an existing collection, or be the perfect start of a children's book collection for new parents. There is something for everyone, from old favorites to lesser known works. Yes, the illustrations are smaller because of the format, but I didn't notice any "missing" illustrations. Your children probably won't either!
Rating: 5
Summary: Great gift!!
Comment: I don't have kids of my own, but I give this book as a gift every time a friend or family member has a first child. It's a guaranteed hit! Everyone has a favorite story they remember from childhood and you're sure to find it here!

Summary: Lack and Quality of Illustrations a Major Disappointment.
Comment: Though a fairly inexpensive way to get a decent collection of children's stories, I found it disappointing, mainly because most of the stories were missing many of their illustrations, or else the pictures were shrunken down to fit the book's format. Illustrations are a MAJOR reason why certain books become favorites, and this collection edits out a majority of the beloved picures in almost all of it's selections. Also, given that this book had to present illustrations in a shrunkendown format, stories such as Madeline were poorly chosen for this book. (The pics for this story, though all included, are so small that you really can't enjoy the full impact of the magnificent artwork which is the charm of the Madeline books.) The description provided of this collection neglected to indicate that many illustrations were missing- I probably wouldn't have ordered the book if this had been clear.
