Ick. Not a fan. We do have one combo book that has a bunch of classic short stories in it (3 little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, etc). I think that would be the only one I like.

I like some of the anthologies but more for 4 and up, they are a good introduction to tables of contents and the kids get a kick out of choosing which story. When they are younger though it is just a pain and often they are clunky. Plus it takes awhile until they understand they are different stories not more of one that you chose to skip!

I'm a closet bibliophile so I just love having all the little books in a row with their titles showing. While combo books are good for travel, I'd always choose a regular book instead.

Yeah, I like individual books better too. Every book deserves its own cover, and I would think they're MUCH easier for little hands to hold! Plus, the combos usually include about half good stories/books, and the other half filler stuff, the stuff that isn't quite as good, that I wouldn't buy otherwise.
