The Story Tree: Tales To Read Aloud Reviews

  I liked the unique illustration style and the selection of various cultures’ fairy tales. They are old tales, and you can tell, but they are presented and told nicely.

  This is a wonderful collection of stories from different cultures around the world meant to be read aloud. The stories include "The Magic Porridge Pot", "Monkey-see, Monkey-do", "The Sweetest Song", "Little Lord Feather-Frock", "The Three Billy Goats Gruff", "The Little Red Hen", and "The Blue Coat". While the stories are meant to be read aloud, they are accompanied by illustrations. The book also features a "Sources & Acknowledgments" page as all story collections should. The book is published by Barefoot Books, one of my favorites. (Check out their website at
  www.barefootbooks.com) They have a fabulous mission statement and I always seem to love their books. I enjoy this collection of stories quite a bit. If you are looking for stories to read aloud to your child, this is a great place to start!

  A compilation of fairy tales from different cultures. It's cool because it tells you what cultures the stories come from and has the actual sources in the back of the book. The story format is extremely repetitive which is great for really young kids and it even has a CD of the author reading each fairy tale. There's a lot going on in the pictures so it should keep the children's attention. Probably best for children under 5 years old.

  The boys and I loved reading these stories together! Jackson was requesting this one, over and above his other books - that's a big deal. The tales were all sweet, filled with meaning, and simple enough to be understood by my 2nd grader without a hefty conversation. We will be reading and listening again and again!

  Tämä Tarinatie oli kyllä aivan erinomainen ääneenlukukirja! Tämän kanssa voisi periaatteessa pitää satutuokion ihan suoraan aika pienillekin lapsille (3+), eli ei tarvitse ryhtyä muokkaamaan tekstiä tarinankerrontaan sopivaksi, vähän vaan rekvisiittaa mukaan. Jokainen tarina oli omalla tavallaan tosi kiva. Tämä oli kyllä sellainen aarre että tilasin tämän heti itselleni omaksi... :D

  This is my two-year old's new favorite storybook. Tales from other cultures intertwine with a few memorable classics like The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Great art, great story! As always, you can find this and other Barefoot Books on
  my website.

  Fun book with great CD to accompany it. I used the first story, The Empty Porridge Pot, to compare with Strega Nona by Tomie DiPaolo. There are seven versions of traditional tales in the book and each has a great twist from the country it is told from.

  I focused on The Magi Porridge Pot which reminded me of the Strega Nona story.

  A book of short stories from different cultures. Most are too repetitive for my enjoyment, but the kids like them. My favorites are The Blue Coat and The Magic Pot.

  Fun, short folktales from around the world. I also think the accompanying CD is well done. It may help that the reader has a British accent. :)

  My four-year old loves listening to the cd in the car.

  Perfect Read Aloud for April Earth's Day Month: This is a fantastic collection of stories from different cultures around the world with a lot of repetitions and Green Tress.
