How \u0026 Why Stories (World Storytelling from August House) Reviews

  • Jodi

    Had to read it for a class.

  • Shelley

    This has world tales from all over for silly things like how the tiger got stripes and why there is thunder and lightning. I like that there is a world map in the front with the list of which tales from where. There are also some facts and tidbits after each story, as well as ideas for how to improve your telling of the stories. Great intro to world culture through stories...good for unit studies.

  • Erin Sterling

    I haven't read too many other how and why stories, so I enjoyed this short-and-sweet collection of such stories from all over the world. I particularly liked that each story ended with tips for telling as well as a few scientific details about why and how the animal actually got its characteristic.
