Picture Storybooks: Stories from Around the World for Little Children

This is a fantastic treasury of stories from around the world, retold for young children. It contains five traditional tales with illustrations from the "Usborne Young Reading Programme": "Aladdin and his Magical Lamp" (Persia), "Brer Rabbit Down the Well" (United States), "How Zebras Got their Stripes" (Africa), "Why the Sea is Salty" (Korea) and "The Dragon Painter" (China). Each story is beautifully illustrated and perfect for either reading aloud or for more confident readers to tackle alone.
