I suppose I learned my lesson by not reading the one 1-star review before purchasing. Now I have to add my own poor review.
I ordered this book as Christmas gifts for my three-year-old as well as my four-year-old niece.
Though excited with how quickly the books arrived, my excitement quickly dissipated when the first page I opened to revealed a castle full of vampires drinking blood from straws, cups and other beings.
My husband cleverly advised we simply rip out those two pages. It would've been a perfect plan except two pages over was another scene of red, ferocious dwarves violently fighting. Several pages over from that were two other pages full of underground demon-looking dragons. Every page was filled with some sort of medieval violence. If we pulled out all the terrifying pages, we'd be left with only the front and back covers.
We will definitely be returning this item. A book that gives my child nightmares until the next Christmas isn't on my shopping list for this year.
