Fairy tales about children
Stories about friends, dreams, school, and small, big adventures.
What are these fairy tales about?
Fairy tales for children are stories about real childhood: friendship in the classroom, first important decisions, family warmth, discoveries and small big adventures. There are no dragons flying here, but each plot teaches something important.
A great choice for family reading: the child recognizes himself in the characters and talks more easily about his own experiences. All texts with illustrations for each fairy tale.
