I didn't think to read this before the other EAH books, but I highly recommend doing so. It gives a great look into each character you'll read about, as well as showing the fun different personalities and lifestyles of each of them. It's fun to learn a little about fairytale characters and giving a look into what a child of one might be like.

It was great to see how the narrator wove the different stories together. This would be a great inference exercise. However, if you've read the ever after high books, a few of the stories (or portions of stories) are repeats.

Still, it's a pleasant collection of short stories and kids will love hearing what their favorite characters get up to when they're not at school.
