What a treasure trove of short stories for kids, tweens and teens to explore cultural education in a fun, memorable way. Adding a few children's books on Kindle are a great way to make sure you have stories around for free moments or focused exploration, and this is a great addition to your family's library of myths and short stories. The diversity is rich and varied, allowing for both cultural and historical education.The book's organization in fabulous. Each starts with a paragraph describing the story's origin, history and significance. Then the story unfolds in clear, engaging writing--storytelling at it's best. These work great for read alouds to young children 4 to 8 or independent reading for children up to 9-12. Then each story wraps up with a one paragraph moral to bring home the point of the allegory, myth or tale. This means they can prompt lots of family discussion. Or, if siblings are fighting, have them read "The Judge Monkey" to each other to talk about cooperation!This book holds lots of wonderful storytelling for young readers, families, teachers and homeschoolers alike.
