Query: too simple, too unwieldy

The author seems to underestimate toddlers` intelligence and attention spans. While the text of the `stories` includes some thoughtful questions to ask the child, many of the stories are oversimplified, and less interesting than if told in more detail. Although the colorful illustrations will engage any youngster, I am also concerned that all the people are depicted with creamy, peach-toned skin. With so many stories packed into a small space, the book is thick and heavy, like a small dictionary, which makes it difficult to hold open with one hand, a manoeuver which, especially if you have one or more children who move, is an absolute necessity. I highly recommend THE LION STORYTELLER`S BIBLE, which is written to be told. There are fewer stories, but the writing is better (attention paid to rhythm and repetition, for example.) The author does not talk down to little ones, and the stories (fifty-plus) are neither too long nor too short.
