Excellent book. Stories from other countries. Given to my child's teacher so that the stories can be shared with other children. A group of actors have turned some of these stories into plays. It was amazing.
Captivating Stories

Although it is suggested for children ages 4-8, I often use this book for projects about countries around the world. The stories are descriptive with wonderful illustrations. Whoopi Goldberg is not the illustrator, but wrote the introduction for the book. The illustrations were done by many different people.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
