Folk Tale Classic series.
These four books appear in uniform paper-over-board editions. Galdone was a refreshingly modest illustrator: his retellings are straightforward and his unassumingly loose-lined, color-separated pictures provide just enough embellishment. Plenty of white space gives the stories all the room they need. Review covers these Folk Tale Classic titles: Cinderella, Henny Penny, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rumpelstiltskin.

This collection of six popular folktales--"The Little Red Hen," "The Three Little Pigs," "The Three Bears," "The Gingerbread Boy," "The Three Little Kittens," and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"--includes complete texts and illustrations. Galdone's simple images and expressive characters are here reproduced to fit the large pages, making this edition well suited to sharing with groups.

Folk Tale Classic series.
These two books from the 1970s appear in modest paper-over-board editions. Both texts are readable and child-friendly; in these picture book reissues, the story is given as much respect and attention as the art. Review covers these titles: Little Red Riding Hood and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.

These four books (more to come) appear in a uniform paper-over-board edition. Galdone was a refreshingly modest illustrator: his retellings are straightforward and his unassumingly loose-lined, color-separated pictures provide just enough embellishment, as when the lazy cat in The Little Red Hen lolls on the couch, dreaming of sardines. Plenty of white space gives the stories all the room they need. Review covers these titles: The Little Red Hen, The Three Bears, Three Little Kittens, and The Three Little Pigs.

PS
This collection of four stories beloved by three-year-olds--The Three Little Pigs, The Three Bears, The Little Red Hen, and Cat Goes Fiddle-i-fee--includes complete texts and illustrations as originally published. Galdone's simple images and expressive characters burst off the pages in these exuberant retellings of favorite folktales.
