I enjoyed many of the short stories in this book, particularly the one about the cat and dog searching for their owner. Some of these stories are quite old and use vocabulary that is probably not used often these days. Since this book is written for 3年生, there isn't much kanji. This adds a surprising level of difficulty to parsing some of the longer passages. Especially if they include some of those older and uncommon words.
I wouldn't NOT recommend this book, but I would say learners should go for something aimed at an older age group. In the future, I will probably try reading books in this series aimed at 6年生.
