(3) K-3 Illustrated by James Ransome. Concentrating on western and central Africa, and including various types of stories, such as a trickster story, a pourquoi tale, and a cautionary tale, the storyteller-author provides a rich experience that will be best enjoyed when the tales are read out loud. The oral nature of the stories is evident, but the expressive paintings provide details of life in different African countries. Reading list, source notes.
