Rating- 

Mary Hill Arbuthnot. Time for Fairy Tales Old and New. Scott, Foresman and Company. (Illustrated by: John Averill, Wade Ray, Seymour Rosofsky, and Debi Sussman), 1952 , Pages: 392, Reading Level: 6th grade and up, Lexile: not listed, Ages: 12 and up, Genre: Fantasy

Time for fairy tales old and new a representative collection of folk tales, myths, epics, fables, and modern fanciful tales for children, to be used in the classroom, home, or camp; especially planned for college classes in children's literature. I would use this collection of books in the classroom to show the wrong things for them to not do. Lots of these stories are about someone or something doing the wrong thing. I would want my students to learn from their mistakes and teach them what not to do.

Has a lot of illustrations and students can make a connection within the book. This book has a beginning, middle, and end. And teachers can easily incorporate this book within their classroom.
2 3-5	Good book.  You want to read this one. This book has normal vocabulary that the student will already know at their age. Has a little bit of illustrations and students will make a connection within the book sometimes. This book has a beginning, middle, and end. And teachers can maybe incorporate this book within their classroom.
1 K-2	This book is okay, you might like this one. This book doesn't have strong vocabulary for the student's proper age. Has no illustrations and students aren't able to make a strong connection within the book. This book is missing either a beginning, middle, or end. And teachers can't incorporate a strong lesson from the book.
