(4) 4-6 These forty-one retold or reprinted tales (including a couple of poems and an anecdote) about environmental conservation represent an impressively broad array of world cultures and are grouped by themes such as "Caring for Our Land," "The Folly of Human Greed," and "Many Voices Bring Results." An apt proverb juxtaposes each story, and many entries are formatted for easy storytelling. The tales, however, are hit-or-miss: many are slight or overly didactic. Bib., ind.
