Entertaining and Historical
Disney's screen version created an interest in me as a youth, and decades later I've finally read the book. The antics of the characters are entertaining for children and enlightening for adults. The actions and manners of the animal folks and the short prefaces between tales reveal the way real life people thought and acted in every-day life just after the Civil War. All in all the book is an interesting aspect of history, as well as a fun collection to read to kids.
