Reviews

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great afternoon read. Took about 30 minutes to read the whole thing.

[Phil J]

The three stories are relatively short and heavily illustrated with woodcuts. It looks like strong read-aloud material. The three stories are "Stole Fire" "Found Rice" and "Saved the Rose."
