TO THOSE WHO WANT TO READ THIS ON KINDLE: The formatting of the book means that any chapter thats illustrated by a wood-cut design (which I believe are the "10 stories" referred to in the subtitle) isnt visible on a Kindle device; it must be printed in reverse text or something in the print version; and no one has realized this and reformatted for the Kindle edition. The only way I could read the content is by highlighting the text; and that only worked on my iPad; not on the Mac desktop version of the app. Buyer beware.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 5 starsBy A momExactly as the title suggests...great read!
