My kid was obsessed with this for a while. Especially the stories about the three little piggies, the three bears and the scared bunny. I didn't really like the message of "Wie Putzi seinen Pokal bekam" (you can only win a trophy/suceed in life if your doing sports), because as a kid (and as a grown up) I really don't enjoy sports and am not sick all the time and lazy. Lent this from the library but I might buy a bigger collection of Shaws stories.
