Rating: Summary: absolutely fantastic Review: a short trip into world fantasy through children's tales from all around the world. a quick glimpse into all which is common between different cultures as well as magical sparks of the "other". not a kid's book at all but a great insight into ourselves.

Rating: Summary: A beautiful, colourful high quality collection. Review: I bought this book for myself on my 28th birthday, and I simply love it!The stories inside were selected carefully. Most of them offer a peek at the culture they were written in (like "Street Scene" from Brazil, and "The Umbrella Thief" from Sri Lanka), some are just downright funny ("The Braggart Lion" from Belgium), others are thought provoking ("The Hidden House" from England, and "All the Colors in the Rainbow" from Spain). This book is a joy to anyone who likes children's books. It's also a big beautiful book that could be given as a gift to any family with children.

Rating: Summary: Truly the best Review: This book features multi-cultural children's stories with the most beautiful illustrations you can imagine. The stories are all high quality, ranging from fairy tales from all cultures, to witty modern stories. My kids loved reading them over and over, and appreciated the high quality of the illustrations as well. The illustration styles range from aboriginal art to highly stylized European oil paintings. Highly recommended!
