FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

Children of the Dragon: Selected Tales from Vietnam

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. The six folktales included in this handsome volume are as interesting and colorful as Hyman's expressive artwork. Many of the story lines are staples of folklore--good and greedy siblings; pourquoi tales; and attempts to win the hand of a maiden--but each has a distinctly Vietnamese flair. No source notes are included, but a lengthy commentary providing historical and cultural information follows each selection.
