Illustrated fairy tales for children

7 replies

This probably isn't the right topic, but can anyone recommend some beautifully illustrated fairy tales for my 4 year old? I bought the usborne Peep Inside stack which is gorgeous but when I was little you could buy big books with lots of stories inside... All different types of fairy tales for children not just the obvious ones like sleeping beauty, goldilocks, Cinderella etc.
I have looked but they all seem single books now.
I have actual collections of Hans Christian Anderson and Grimms, but the language is a bit old for my 4 year old and there aren't enough pictures.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Oh great, thanks. I've ordered the third one you suggested but would still be open to more suggestions if anyone else knows any. Or any magical tales with nice illustrations.

A Necklace Of Raindrops is stunning and unusual

The Barefoot Book of Earth Tales has beautiful stories from around the world

I ordered the third one too. Necklace of Raindrops look lovely. I loved my fairy stories book as a child.

This will probably be too hard to read independently, but I've recently bought this and this both of which are beautiful!

The raindrops book looks amazing but I think it might be a bit old for my (just turned) 4 year old. I am tempted to get it anyway to read myself and give to her when she's older though! The Peter pan one looks good too and I like the look of the Alice in Wonderland one but again I think it's a bit old at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions.
