"My 5 year old LOVED it!" according to KNCS. I purchased this book book for my (then) 5 year old son and he loves it! This book is a compilation of chapters from the original books and therefore it should be noted that it DOES NOT include the full stories (i.e, books).

My daughters love the stories and it sparks their imagination. In addition, the CD's are complete and are over 1 1/2 hours. This is an excellent addition to any child's library and the CD's extend the value. They are great for rest times, or nap/bed times. The only possible negative is that the book is a paperback, and your child may read it so many times that the book may wear out quickly. But this is well worth a look.. Love Mother West Wind Stories I had this book as a child and was thrilled to find it again. They don't write 'em like they used to. The stories and pictures are wonderful and are great for bedtime stories.
