Beautiful book for children 5 years (there are pages with no illustrations, difficult to keep the attention within 5 years). The cover is very soft and a bit like padded with gilding. The illustrations are beautiful, colorful, one never tires of rereading some of the most classic stories like that of Ali Baba (the coup then have DVD Fernandel is also nice with the songs!). The only thing that takes away a star in our opinion, this is the format. Book very thick, heavy to carry (not possible for a child, you must ask him, and to an adult who has a child on her lap, you have to put it too), so quite difficult to handle. A larger but more flat format could be tested!
