A spirited adaptation of a traditional tale about a feisty, good-natured old woman's run-in with the fabled bogey beast. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this one to my seven-year-old son last night and before I even started he said "oh, this looks like a good one" - which means the illustrations definitely caught his eye. The story is fable about the merits of looking of the bright side/not complaining. It's not too preachy, though. The language is definitely not American English - but not too different for kids. I did have to explain that a biscuit is a cookie.
