Atmospheric woodcuts illustrate this Newbery Award–winning collection of 19 South American folktales. Charles J. Finger heard the tales firsthand from native storytellers, whose fables of talking animals, witches, giants, and ordinary people in supernatural settings provide remarkable insights into regional values and culture.The first of the stories, "A Tale of Three Tails," tells of an age when the rat had a tail like a horse, the rabbit had a tail like a cat, and the deer's tail was plumed like the tail of a dog. "The Magic Dog" recounts an act of kindness to a stray animal that helps overcome a witch's curse. In "The Calabash Man," the creatures of the jungle assist a suitor in winning his bride, and in "El Enano," a greedy troll's insatiable appetite leads to his downfall. Packed with adventure and full of surprises, these and other stories emphasize the importance of hard work, courage, and loyalty.

Did you know that a fern and a palm tree mark the center of California right on Freeway 99 in Madera, CA? Paying public tribute to loved ones who perish on our roads is a common observation all over the country. Those who erect those elaborate memorials want to remember their loved ones while celebrating their lives cut short by freak accidents. In most states, roadside memorials are illegal. Even DOT employees whose missions are to keep the sides of the roads clean and free from distraction build memorials in remembrance of their fellow co-workers and friends. Famous authors such as John Steinbeck were inspired by these roadside tributes. John Steinbeck wrote, ""It seems good to mark and to remember for a little while the place where a man died” in "The Log From the Sea of Cortez." In poetic form, Roadside Memorials...want to show the drama, beauty and seriousness that exist on our roads. Follow the ongoing RoadsideMemorialOnline.blogspot.com tribute.
