This is a very interesting book full of stories from other nations, a compilation. Most of them were folktales or legends. I really enjoyed the different perspectives and importance of different things to each story. Also, for illustration, the designs on the colorful and engaging pages showed designs that the culture from whom the story came would use in decorating. It would be good for teaching students about different places in the world and why each story, though different, is beautiful and valuable. ( )
