This is a fantastic treasury of stories from around the world, retold for young children. It contains five traditional tales with illustrations from the -Usborne Young Reading Programme-: -Aladdin and his Magical Lamp- (Persia), -Brer Rabbit Down the Well- (United States), -How Zebras Got their Stripes- (Africa), -Why the Sea is Salty- (Korea) and -The Dragon Painter- (China). Each story is beautifully illustrated and perfect for either reading aloud or for more confident readers to tackle alone.
