Recenzii
"There are such beautiful illustrations in this book; some full pages of color and others are partial pages worked around the text. […] It's nice to have a collection of folktales from different countries in one book that are so well blend together, such as these." —Castle View Academy
"The illustrations allow the reader to picture the culture as well as the setting. The stories bring in various parts of the culture…as well as some of the structure of the society. As always I find these stories a fun way to bring the culture alive…" —Crafty Moms Share blog
"The stories are retold in crisp, contemporary idiom and use rich, expressive language that makes them great for reading aloud, whether at home or in school." —Papertigers.org blog
