Illustrated by
Richard Johnson.
This collection of retellings uses traditional characters, themes, and plots from many cultures. The stories are generally only two to three pages long, making them ideal for bedtime or a quick classroom read-aloud. Thoughtful design includes Johnson's soft yet lively illustrations as borders, spots, and full pages, providing lovely visual images related to each story's cultural origin. No sources are included.
