Illustrated by
Sophie Fatus.
A rhythmic, informal narrative style with just the right amount of repetition enlivens this collection of seven tales from around the world. Fatus's expressive, folksy illustrations move the amiable characters about expansive double-page spreads. Text and art successfully combine to make this a read-aloud favorite. Source notes are included.
