Many of the stories that readers 5 to 8 most appreciate involve animals, and this treasury collects 50 classics from around the world. Illustrated throughout, these fables, myths, and legends include "The Three Little Pigs," "The Ugly Duckling," "Why the Swallow's Tail is Forked," and "Ananse and the Python."
"Rich with imagery and magical happenings, this treasury offers plenty to captivate readers, and Aitch's pencil and watercolor art neatly bridges the stories' varied settings."—Publishers Weekly
