FUN AND COLORFUL

Just the title "Duck's Breath and Mouse Pie" not only makes youngsters laugh but also intrigues them so that they cannot wait to find out what in the world this book is all about. Well, it's about animal superstitions throughout the ages. Many of these folk beliefs are illogical and in our present day laughable. Yet with the aid of the included historical notes children are helped to understand how people might once have understood the world in which they lived. This is one more book that makes learning fun.
