A Cornucopia of African American Tales

One Hundred and One African-American Read-Aloud Stories is a wonderful book that has a little something for everyone. Its selection of myths and fables will entertain while teaching moral lessons. Fairy tales, folk tales, and liar, fool and tall tales will encourage children to use their imaginations, while the stories on slavery, history and biography will educate. My only criticism is that the book is a little advanced for its targeted age range. There are no illustrations and young readers may have difficulty attempting to read the stories with no adult assistance. This is an excellent book that would complement any family library.Reviewed by Latoya Carter-QawiyyThe RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
