Short Kid Stories

The Ugly Duckling and Other Tales for Young Ears (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book contains 5 fairy tales, adapted from the work of Hans Christian Andersen to be suitable for reading to children of all ages. The stories included are The Ugly Duckling, The Princess and the Pea, The Swineherd, The Emperor's New Clothes and What a Good Man Does is Always Right.

Hans Christian Andersen was a story-telling genius, however translations of the original stories he wrote contain old and complicated language that can be difficult for modern children to understand. Some of his works are also quite dark and have endings that might be upsetting to some children.

All stories in Tales for Young Ears have been meticulously edited to preserve as much of the original language and story-line, but in a manner that is understandable to modern children.

The book also contains a marker after approximately every five minutes of reading. This is to provide parents or adult readers with an opportunity to pause a story at a logical break-point and return to it later, depending on circumstances.

The book contains wonderful classic original illustrations by Edna F. Hart. Each story has one to three illustrations, depending on the length.
