Grandmothers have always been the keepers of the stories children remember longest, and this Dreamland Publications collection gathers that tradition into one volume.
The one hundred and one tales include animal fables, folklore, and stories of cleverness and courage drawn from various traditions. Each is told in plain language with a gentle moral, and the length suits a bedtime slot or a quiet afternoon. Colour illustrations accompany the stories, giving a young reader visual anchors for characters and settings.
What it brings to a collection:
• A hundred and one folk tales and fables retold for young readers
• Animal characters, clever heroes and traditional storytelling patterns
• Plain vocabulary suited to reading aloud or early independent reading
• Illustrated pages that break long reading into manageable pieces
A warm choice for families, storytellers and primary classrooms, published by Dreamland Publications and available from Boipoka.
