In WHY NEWLY BORN BABIES CAN'T TALK and Other Stories, King Samuel Benson has once again brought together a small group of classic folktales, interpreted and retold for our modern ear. The author has a warm and gentle way in telling these tales. One of my favorites begins, "Many, many years ago when animals could still talk, there lived the first clan of animals in a remote village in Africa." This was an enjoyable read filled with lessons and culture. It makes a nice companion to Tales by Twilight (A Collection of African Folktale).
