For Key Stage One
A Pocketful of Stories
Quite possibly the biggest collection of small stories you`ll ever find in one person`s head! Some you might know, some you won`t, and some you`ll realise you only thought you knew!
Crazy Coyote
Most people in this country know Coyote from the "Roadrunner" cartoons, but he`s an essential part of Native American myths and folk tales. He`s tricky, dishonest, vain, cheeky, wise and silly but also very lovable!
Tiger`s Stew
Stories from all over Africa featuring (amongst others) the strongest man in the world, talking mice, lazy lions, jealous brothers and the greedy-guts who really did eat Tiger`s stew.
Here be Dragons
Some of the oldest Dragon stories in the world, mostly from the far east. Awe inspiring, moving, and sometimes very funny.
Around the World in 60 Minutes
A collection of myths, legends and folk tales from every continent. These stories allow us a glimpse into other cultures while at the same time reminding us that we`re all subject to the same hopes, fears and experiences.
Caribbean Capers
There`s no Anansi here - instead we have the original cheeky monkeys, the roots of the distrust between man and beast and even dogs made from fish to name but a few!
The real, honest, accurate, absolutely one hundred per cent totally true account of what really really really happened with Jack and his Beanstalk. You thought you knew this story? Ha! Think again! It really did all happen, about two hundred years ago and not very far from where you are now.........
and we have to warn you..... it`s a bit scary!
