Listen to the Storyteller: A Trio of Musical Tales from Around the World

(4) K-3 According to the publisher's note, these original stories contain motifs "reminiscent of folktale traditions found throughout the world" (purportedly Caribbean, Native American, and Celtic). Balouch's energetic illustrations are more captivating than the somewhat hackneyed stories, which concern a test of endurance between a headstrong boy and a witch, three boys' vision quest and lesson about greed, and the triumph of springtime (a girl) over winter (her brother).
