Retold by Nicola Baxter especially for young readers, the collection pairs gentle, rhythmic language with classic characters children already know and love. From Cinderella to The Wizard of Oz, each story is sized perfectly for little hands and short attention spans, making this an ideal everyday reading set, bedtime companion, or thoughtful gift for any child building their first home library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLadybird has been retelling fairy tales for young children for decades, and this sixteen-book set continues that trusted tradition. Each paperback features Nicola Baxter's simplified retellings, designed to be read aloud by a parent or carer, or tackled independently by a confident early reader. The stories mix traditional European fairy tales such as Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood with cumulative tales like The Gingerbread Man and The Enormous Turnip, animal fables such as Chicken Licken, and beloved literary classics including Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. The language has been carefully pitched for children aged five to seven, with short sentences, repeated phrases and familiar vocabulary that support growing reading confidence. Full colour illustrations throughout bring each tale to life, helping children follow the plot even before they can read every word themselves. Because each title is a separate slim paperback, the set is wonderfully flexible: children can choose a favourite for bedtime, teachers can use individual titles for group storytime, and the whole set travels easily for days out or holidays. The combination of variety, familiarity and accessible retellings makes this one of the most practical fairy tale collections available for the age group, equally suited to a first home library, a classroom reading corner, or a special birthday gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen classic fairy tales and folk stories in one convenient paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetold by Nicola Baxter with language pitched for ages 5-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull colour illustrations throughout to support early reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual slim paperbacks make stories easy to choose, carry and share\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for bedtime reading, classroom storytime or independent reading practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lasting gift that introduces children to timeless, much-loved stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNicola Baxter is a British children's author and editor who has written and compiled numerous collections of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and poetry for young readers.
