Críticas:

"Like all Harrison and Stuart-Clark's fine Oxford anthologies, this global collection of 23 traditional tales is a feast for storytelling and reading aloud. The informal voices, whether laconic, lyrical, or dramatic, draw you in from the very first line... The design of the large volume is open and inviting, with thick paper and handsome color paintings by several artists."--Booklist "[A] globe-trotting anthology... Each story is a rib-sticking and welcome alternative to 'The Three Little Pigs, ' 'Goldilocks, ' et al."--Hungry Mind Review "This brightly illustrated anthology contains 23 tales from around the globe... Folklore devotees will appreciate rarely heard stories as well as familiar plot lines with new twists."--Arizona Republic "Retold simply with a cleverness of phrasing... This extensive and attractively presented collection is a good book for multiethnic collections and a wonderful read-aloud for story hours."--MultiCultural Review "Short and sprighty, good to read aloud and easy enough to read alone... The pictures [are] attractively arranged in many sizes and shapes throughout the text."--School Library Journal "Like all Harrison and Stuart-Clark's fine Oxford anthologies, this global collection of 23 traditional tales is a feast for storytelling and reading aloud.
