Before reading "The Glass Menagerie", I decided to start with a more cheerful note by reading children's stories by Sylvia Platt. For me, the first one with a costume was the weakest. The second one had a rather dull happy ending, but the last little poem was the best for me.
An enormous plus for the book are the illustrations. They are truly unique!
I really enjoyed exploring these different stories. Each one had its own charm and特点. The first story, although I found it a bit lacking, still had some interesting elements. The second story's happy ending felt a bit too predictable and unexciting. However, the last poem really stood out. It had a certain magic and beauty to it that made it my favorite.
The illustrations throughout the book added another layer of depth and interest. They were so well done and really brought the stories to life. I could imagine the characters and scenes vividly in my mind as I looked at the illustrations.
Overall, my experience with these children's stories by Sylvia Platt was a positive one. Despite the flaws in some of the stories, the overall charm and the wonderful illustrations made it a worthwhile read.
