BOOK: FOLKLORE (ages 5-11)
Brief Description: Adler has compiled and retold a beautiful collection of nine stories from around the world. From China, to Brazil, America, Canada, India and Germany, these tales will delight readers. This collection of folk tales centers around tales with animals as the primary characters.
Awards: None
Personal Opinion: I so enjoyed reading this diverse collection of tales, but especially enjoyed the story from India entitled "The Rabbit in the Moon." Illustrations by Amanda Hall are rich, culturally oriented and compliment the text perfectly.
Curriculum/Programming: This book makes a fantastic part of a display for this summer's national collaborative summer reading theme: "One World, Many Stories."
