Succinct retellings of folk tales from sixteen different countries provide glimpses into a wide range of cultural values and beliefs...This is a nice collection of tales that are not widely known.

This review is from: The Kingfisher Treasury of Stories from Around the World (Paperback)
we love this book it has great stories from all over the world. great to read to your kids (mine are 6 and 8) - they are glued one to each side when i'm reading them a story from this book. Also excellent for new readers once they have gained confidence with reading and finished the general picture book reading stage.

This review is from: The Kingfisher Treasury of Stories from Around the World (Paperback)
This is a collection of folktales from around the world. There are stories from places such as Japan, China, Africa, India and more. This is a great way to learn about traditions from other cultures.
I likes that the stories were short enough to read a few at a time as bedtime tales I would recommend this to others. It is a great way to learn about the world. As we read the stories in our homeschool we located the places the stories came from on the map.
