From beloved author Jane Yolen and acclaimed illustrator Jane Dyer a collection of thirty stories from around the world, perfect for sharing and for bedtime.

This collection of well-known and not-so-well known stories, fairy tales, folk tales, and fables from Russia to Africa to Korea and beyond includes magic tales, homey tales, and animal tales.

As Jane Yolen says in her introduction, 'these are stories that are short, full of remarkable characters, infinitely retellable, and fit for children between three and five years of age. I hope'as you read them with a child on your lap, or snuggled next to you in bed, or sitting with young friends at your feet, their eager faces falling under the story's spell'I hope that you love the stories as well as they do.'

Industry Reviews

"This beautiful volume offers a selection of the folktales and fairy tales that are just right for sharing with preschool and primary-grade children....a pleasure to read and share. From gouache paintings depicting scenes from the stories to the small black-and-white silhouettes that appear after the closing rhymes, Dyer's lively illustrations appear on almost every page and depict both human and animal characters with energy, warmth, and grace. A fine source of tales for reading aloud." -- Booklist--Booklist Online "Nov 30, 2017 "
