Primary Reader: Old-time Stories, Fairy Tales and Myths Retold by Children (Version 2) by E. Louise Smythe is a charming collection of classic stories rewritten by children. The book offers a fresh take on well-known tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and King Midas through the imaginative minds of young storytellers.

Each story is filled with creativity and originality, presenting a unique perspective on familiar narratives. The language used by the young authors is simple yet engaging, making the stories easily accessible to young readers. The illustrations that accompany the tales are also delightful and add to the overall appeal of the book.

I appreciate the concept of children retelling these well-loved stories, as it gives them an opportunity to flex their creative muscles and put their own spin on timeless tales. This anthology is a fun and entertaining read for children and adults alike, providing a fresh and exciting twist on classic folklore.

Overall, Primary Reader: Old-time Stories, Fairy Tales and Myths Retold by Children (Version 2) is a delightful collection that showcases the talent and imagination of young writers. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique and engaging take on traditional fairy tales.

Book Description:
"This book originated in a series of little reading lessons prepared for the first grade pupils in the Santa Rosa public schools. The object of the lessons was three-fold: to provide reading matter for the little ones who had only a small vocabulary of sight-words; to acquaint them early with the heroes who have come down to us in song and story; and to create a desire for literature...Various stories were given to the pupils; discussions followed. After a time the story was produced orally by the children. Notes were made on expressions used and points of interest dwelt upon. Later the story was either written on the blackboard or mimeographed and put into the pupils' hands to read...Hoping these stories will interest other children as they have interested those who helped build them, I send them forth." - Summary by E. Louise Smythe
