Anything Doctor Who is good, but unfortunately I was not impressed with these stories. They were told in classic fairytale style, meaning no depth in character or story.

The Emperor Dalek Has No Clothes-ended on kind of a downer - all but two rebels died and the Emperor didn't die
Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday has a much more satisfying ending
Little Rose Riding Hood was very cute
Cinderella and the Magic Box - The Doctor as Fairy Godmother = amazing, plus vampires!
The Gingerbread Trap - cute retelling of Hansel and Gretel
Helana and the Beast - fun twist on B&tB with the Doctor as a fake librarian
Andiba and the Four Slitheen - not sure which fairy tale it's parodying, but it was cute nonetheless
Sirgwain and the Green Knight - makes me wish I remembered reading the original
The garden of statues - cute, but a little sad
Frozen Beauty - very cute adventure-y take on sleeping beauty
The Three Little Sontarans - kind of meh
Three Brothers Gruff - very enjoyable
The Grief Collector - I would watch a DW episode about this
The Scruffy Piper - decent, but not as cute as some of the other stories
The Twins in the Wood - could be expanded into a full DW episode for sure
Jak and the Wormhole - not the way I was expecting the story to go, based on the source, but cute anyway.
Overall, an enjoyable combo of DW and fairy tales.

Some stories were better than others. It's not listed as a children's book on here, but it is classified as one in it's description, so keep that in mind.
Nice casual read for Whovians.

A collection of quick, easy to read fairy tales with a Doctor Who Twist. It was a fun read. Some stories I liked more than others. I particularly enjoyed the Whovian version of Beauty and the Beast, "Helana and the Beast."
