The Snake's Tales

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yumi Heo. A narrator introduces the time when the story first begins: two children trade their gathered fruit with a snake, who in exchange tells them riveting stories, a concept unknown to the world. The children in turn tell the stories to their parents, and they to their neighbors. Although sometimes choppy, the narrative is elevated by the detailed pencil and oil illustrations.
