from Puffin/Dial
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
This is a great cumulative story, filled with appropriate sound effects for every animal mentioned.
It does get a little long (reciting long lists of animals will do that), so it might not be best for little-little ones who cannot sit through it.
One thing to note is that this book does... more info

Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
I read this book as a child and I loved all the art work and the wonderful story. In fact, I loved the story so much, some 30 years later I gave my son (now 4) the middle name of Anansi. My son and daughter (age 3) love the story of Anansi and his six sons. Even when we don't have the book with us,... more info

Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain by Verna Aardema is somewhat based on a folk tale from Kenya discovered and recorded by British anthropologist Claud Hellis over 70 years ago. As has been pointed out in another review, the tale as told by the folks in Kenya was quite likely not told in the same... more info

6.The Egyptian CinderellaThe Egyptian Cinderella
from HarperCollins
Price: $14.03

Customer Review:
What message does the Cinderella story convey to young girls? If you are concerned about the emphasis on beauty and passivity, try Cinderella stories from various cultures. After hearing this Egyptian Cinderella story from a library book, my granddaughter asked to have a copy for her own.
