Illustrated by
Amanda Hall.
In this reissue of a book originally titled The Dial Book of Animal Tales from Around the World, Adler, a storyteller, offers retellings of nine animal stories from six continents, including some less familiar tales from Australia, Brazil, and Thailand. The notes at the back cite a number of contemporary oral sources. Detailed, energetic illustrations give each story a distinctive flavor.
