Negative Positive
Title: Not for todays child.
Review: I bought this book for my son thinking it would be like ones I had as a child. When first published in 1916 this book may have been excellent for young children but seems to be out of place and out of date for todays child. In a world where children are teased and exposed to violence this book teaches nothing but contempt. The first story talks of sheep murdered and their tails hung to dry then burried. More on laziness and the fact that being different is bad. Illustrations are poor. Many popular short tails left out. Really not what I expected from Scholastic. No morals teaching stories or modernized grammar like other books. I havn't seen de-moralizing stories since Dumbo and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. There are better books out there. If I could give negative stars I would. This one is going back to sender.
