I read most of these as a child, and I am in the process of reading them to my daughter now, out of the Children's Illustrated Library (I don't have this specific version, but I could not find that one to log.) I think it's important to read them as a matter of cultural literacy (to have the cultural vocabulary--slow and steady wins the race; sour grapes; etc.), but as stories in and of themselves, they aren't precisely mesmerizing. For a child, however, they are short and to the point, and they seem to hold my four year old's interest well enough.
