One of my storytelling classes drove me nuts by saying that they could not tell any of the stories I suggested because they were either too violent or too amoral. I created this book for that class. I suppose you can find a tad of amorality and violence even in some of these. They are folktales after all. But mostly I find these gentle, pleasing tales to tell. With a good bit of high fun thrown in, and several sing-along slots. Contains: “The Snow Bunting’s Lullaby” (Siberia); “Look Back and See” (Tanzania); “Kanji-Jo, the Nestlings” (Mende); “Domingo Siete” (Argentina); “Turkey Girl” (Zuñi); “Little Cricket’s Marriage” (Palestinian Arab); “Please All, Please None” (Aesop); “Why Koala Has No Tail” (Australia); “Katchi Katchi Blue Jay” (Nisqually); “Strawberries of the Little Men” (England); “Elk and Wren” (Makah); “Bear Child” (Baffin Island); “Two Women Hunt for Ground Squirrels” (Tanaina Athabaskan); “Quail Song” (Cahuilla); “Grandfather Bear is Hungry” (Eiven, Siberia); “Tiny Mouse Goes Traveliing” (Khanti); “Singing Turtle” (Japanese); “Teeny Weeny Bop” (Australia); “Penny and a Half” (Chile) Used Book in Good Condition
