THE BEST!
In my experience, not a lot of people know about these stories. My parents read them to me and they stuck in my head like poetry (they ARE a kind of poetry, really). Then I read them to my daughter, who seemed to disdain most children's books, but who loved the ROOTABAGA STORIES. Whenever someone I know has a new baby, I send the ROOTABAGA STORIES. they are magical, they will cunningly build in your child a deep appreciation of the music of language... No child should grow up without the unique pleasures of this wondrous prose.
it wasn't just my daughter who preferred these stories. I never tired of reading them aloud.
