Alice Cussler is pleased to present her new book for children – Bedtime Stories! Old Owl’s Fairy Tales for Children: Short Stories Picture Book for Kids about Animals from Magical Forest

The old owl has been living in the magical forest for many years. He was known as Uncle John. Life in the magical forest is full of adventures, so Uncle John began gathering and writing down all interesting stories that happen to animals around him.

Today the old owl will tell you stories about rabbit, bear, donkey, pony, raccoon, giraffe and other inhabitants of the magical forest. Although these animals are very different - some jolly, some sad, some clever, some not so much, all of them live together peacefully in the magical forest.

This book is written to teach children to be responsible towards animals. If children learn to love and respect animals, they will become reliable and responsible adults.

Note: This book is suitable for children 4 years and older (or parents may want to read this book with their children).

SPECIAL PRICING: This book is exclusive to the Amazon store and is currently set at a low promotional price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bedtime Stories You Will Enjoy Reading To Your Children!
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

The author is very creative and vivid in her usage of animals in her story telling. This book reminds me of the children’s stories that my grandmother use to read to me when I was a child. Some good life lessons that children will learn from this book are 1) on how important it is to relate to others and be understanding to their different perspectives (making friends), 2) respecting someone else’s territory, 3) and not being ashamed that you are different than others--which can be a beautiful thing.

I particularly enjoyed reading about the butterfly and grasshopper story: A short story about enjoying life because of the brevity of it, and that your own personal enjoyment of life will cause others to admire you and resonate with you, when you least expect it.

I highly recommended read for those who enjoy reading children’s stories for themselves and reading them to children.

For these reasons of many beautiful tales and pretty small images I wish to recommend it for five sari and for the very small kids as a bedtime tales for each bedtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful Bedtime Reading

Alice Cussler, you deserve 5 stars for creating such a wonderful book of short bedtime stories. The illustrations for each story are just delightful and the stories are a great way introduce the little ones of the need to respect and care for animals.

My grandson particularly enjoyed the story about the baby zebra and the horsefly, and the pink pony story thrilled my little granddaughter. She just loved that story, and I have a feeling I will be reading from Bedtime Stories Old Owl's Fairy Tales for many, many times.

Terrific book, with enchanting illustrations. I can't recommend it highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bedtime Stories! Old Owls Fairy Tails for Children is a neat book for the kids.
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2013

Loved the images in the book. I think the author must have used vector graphics as the images scaled well on my smartphone. The stories were cute but I think more suited to younger readers than 8 year olds. The book should keep the interest of the younger reader. It is the kind of book that can be an excellent shared reading experience when the child is learning to read. Overall a good book as a bedtime reader for the kids.

Delightful to look at, delightful to hold, but when I read the blurb, We had to mark it "Sold" ! a children's book - naturally... how can you go wrong? WE grew up with Grimm's fairy tales and other things we though were benign, but seeing them remade into movies and different venues, they weren't so innocent, were they? lol - These, today, were written by younger folk, who have broken the old habits we had of Snow White and Rumpelstiltskin... Can't go wrong with these books.. seriously.

I've bought this book to read to my twins and they loved it and so did I! I'm also going to purchase the other author's Animals Books Collection for Children. The book is a collection of short stories and full of beautiful pictures. It's about friendship, life lessons and insights into the life of each different animals in the book. I recommend it for parents who enjoy reading bedtime stories for their children as well as help them to learn how to read. Fun book to read to your children!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Story Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book is geared for older children who can get the point of each of the stories. I think one thing that I like about the story book is that the stories teach a moral lesson of some sort. It's a fun book to read with my grandkids and then spend some time discussing what the stories meant and how the lesson can be applied in their own lives. A nice little read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2013

I love Alice Cussler's childrens books. The outstanding illustrations, which always match the stories, really make the messages come to life. Kids are intuitively smart and the little ones get the lesson, even if they don't know that they do! This collection is beautiful to read and to look at, even on a black and white Kindle, but it's absolutely stunning on a tablet! Highly, highly recommended!

Once is a while you pick up a children's story book and it fills you with joy. This, for me, was one of those books. The stories are short and cute with illustrations to die for. More Shrek than Disney, which suited me and my kids just fine.
