Can you recommend some names of other children's short stories?

Often, the names are very descriptive. For example, in 'The Gingerbread Man', the name tells you right away that the main character is a gingerbread man. They are also simple and easy for children to remember, like 'The Little Match Girl'. Another characteristic is that they sometimes give a hint about the main event or problem in the story, as in 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' where you can guess that there is a boy involved and something to do with wolves and false alarms.

There is 'The Ugly Duckling' story. A duckling is different from others and is bullied because it looks 'ugly'. But as it grows up, it turns out to be a beautiful swan. And 'Thumbelina' is also a lovely short story. Thumbelina, a tiny girl, has many adventures, like being kidnapped by a toad and later living with a mole, until she finally finds her true love among the flower - fairies.

There is 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. The hare is very proud of his speed and mocks the tortoise. But the tortoise challenges him to a race.

A short - story omnibus. An omnibus is a large volume containing several works, and in this case, short stories. It can be a great way to have a lot of different short stories in one place.
