Wonder Tales from Around the World
Grade 3-6?A collection of 27 folktales from around the world, each of which has a vein of magic that will delight both readers and listeners. Forest has retold each story in the "...minstrel performance style of storytelling [that] interweaves original poetry, guitar, and the sung and spoken word." Phrasing and imagery are consistently vivid, making these tales excellent candidates for storytelling as well as good read-alouds. The book's design is uncluttered and pleasing, with large pages and print and wide margins. An effective, full-page black-and-white drawing enhances each selection. All in all, a fine addition to most folklore collections.?Lee Bock, Brown County Public Libraries, Green Bay,Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
