Illustrated by
Andrew Breakspeare.
Ten tales, including "The Frog Princess" and "The Firebird," are retold in this attractive collection. Cheerful spot art and folksy full-page illustrations in a rainbow palette add some whimsy to this varied selection of humorous, sad, and scary tales. All work well as read-alouds. Source notes are appended.
