More stories, more pleasure

This second book is small but interesting like the first.My two children song the chorus of " Sweet and sour berries"again and again. My younger rename this storie because he was so impressed by one of the characters. He said always this isthe black's man story.I very found of "The man who bought a dream". It's sound interesting and it is. Another storie with a strange title is "Deer and jaguar share a house". After i told this storie, one children was the deerand the other the jaguar. The "Little frog and centipede" is very good for the younger.The others stories are like these.Enjoy,Myriam

For this story collection, they should have six stars!

I loved the original (Ready-to-Tell Tales) that was published several years ago. Friends who are school librarians or storytellers have also recommended it without reservation. This new book is even better. It has more stories and costs less, always a good equation, and this one has new indexes that list the stories by culture of origin and by audience target age level. Parents, teachers, librarians, and storytellers of all descriptions will love this. Great for high school speech competitions, too!
