Few fairy tale / folk tale collections contain anything from Spain, except possibly "The Half-Chick." However, the stories in this little book are diverse, entertaining, easy to read, and as worthy of notice as those from Germany or France. Especially for children who are bilingual in English and Spanish, these stories are a cultural literacy essential. The illustratiions are also charming, and the slight intermixture of Spanish words gives a pleasantly authentic flavor.
All children in this increasingly multicultural nation deserve a chance to enjoy these well-told, beautifully illustrated stories. My kids love them
As a travel writer of travel guides for kids, I use books to help get kids thinking about a destination. Fairy tales from a new land helps them connect with kids there!This book is a marvelous compilation of fairy tales from Spain - and certainly a classic. I have a newer version which I used to prepare my own children for a trip to Spain and this one is at the top of my list of things children should read before they visit.Top notch book!! No wonder it has been around for years!!
Looked and looked for this book, had it as a child, still love the stories! Real stuff, not like the garbage they feed kids nowadays.
