review 1: I enjoyed the fox's stories and the lessons behind them. They weren't happy stories and the ending would probably be frowned upon by parents who don't want their children exposed to death by unnatural causes. (The fox was eaten in the end, after cuckholding the other animals.). These were real life applications told in a way that all, even children can understand with the help of an adult explaining it to them. My boys, who are 6 & 8 listened and asked questions. It brought about conversation that told why we need to be careful and not everyone always having their best interests at heart. I myself would give it a 5 for the truths found in the book, but I will only give it a 3 because of the explanations that I had to give to my children, so it wasn't the easiest kid bo... moreok to read as far as understanding.
review 2: This book is a collection of fables all involving a Fox called Master Reynard. I like these fables as each one end with a lesson/moral for the children to learn. They are short (so keeping the children's attention whilst you read to them should be a cinch!) and they use relatively simple language. I would say that the age range for this book would be the 5-7 range. This book could be read to a class with a teacher then discussing the moral of each story with the children and asking them questions about what they thought the moral from each fable meant and what they could learn from it. less
