Folk Tales is part of the acclaimed Global Understanding book series with stories from around the world. This unique and interactive book series' primary purpose is to help young learners expand in literacy through diverse cultures.
Traditional stories endure generation after generation because although they are not literal they resound in truths on a human scale. Folktales remind us of wisdom so elemental it is often lost in the rush of everyday life, so that sometimes common sense makes no sense at all.
What do you do when you lose a tooth? Do you try to exchange it with a beaver for one of his? Do you save it for the Tooth Mouse, or is that the Tooth Fairy? This magically illustrated book shows how children from various cultures and 17 different countries celebrate this rite of passage.
