Saviour Pirotta
Illustrated by Richard Johnson
|
Imagine traveling around the globe, collecting stories from different countries to put in a big, beautiful book for children to hear or read themselves. That's what the author did to create this grand treasury of tales. Readers cross six continents and many cultures and countries, learning about the diversity and wonders of this world. There are traditional tales from North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australasia, and Europe. The illustrations are bright, bold, and colorful, capturing the flavor of each place and people. I have read many, many storybooks, and this collection is full of tales I have never seen. They are wise and witty, sad and silly -- introducing children to the complexities of human nature and the gifts of the animal kingdom and the natural world. This is a wonderful gift for a teacher's classroom, a couple just starting a family, children who are home schooling, or for any child interested in the rest of the world who loves stories. That would be just about everybody!
