Fun:
Just received, so can't comment on all the stories (125 in total)
some you may not recognise in the index, as they have their original titles, such as Cinderella, is called Ashputtel
stories can be sorted by: title, author, genre (fairytale, short story etc)
you can set it so that you can see how many pages there are in each book (which can be helpful, as a few of the short stories are not all that short)
also you can use a bookmark to keep your place (up to 3 per book)
one thing to remember is that the stories are in their original format, Ashputtel has one of the sisters, cutting off her toe to make the shoe fit, in tom thumb the wolf that swallows tom has his head cut off, things like that, (something to keep in mind if your child is the sensitive type) others are just different from the version you may remember reading when you were a child

Fun:
My 11 yr old is really excited that she can read her books on her nintendo. She is much more interested in gadgets than paper.

Fun:
A great selection of books for both children and adults alike to read, lots of well known titles. Easy to use on the DS, and also easy to read on the screen. I would recommend this for any bookworm regardless of age.

Loads of stories in one
The only downside is the absence of the graphics that a 4-year-old would love in a book. We love bed time stories but looking at just the texts,it bores her quickly. Read more

Great for taking on long trips where books take up too much room, hundred+ stories to read so should always be able to find something interesting.
