Filled with tricksters and sillies. Excellent for beginning storytelling and a quick story to learn on-the-go (shorter stories with memorable plots).

love it. great collection of simple but curious retellings. . .

the introduction from Judy Sierra highlights to the reader the wonderful diversity in story introductions, from:

"once upon a time, when pigs where swine and birds made their nests in old men's beards"

to the lesser known (er, to me)

"once upon a time, in the old people's time when the monkey chewed tobacco and spit white lime"
