“A Year Full of Stories: 52 Folktales and Legends from Around the World” written by Angela McAllister and Christopher Corr
First of all, can we just talk about how gorgeous this book is? Christopher’s illustrations have me totally smitten and I want to frame his work all over my house. It totally reminds me of either magical tea parties in enchanted forests or Rapunzel’s tower. Either way, I’m in love!
The set-up of this book is wonderful as well. All 52 stories are broken up into 12 mini chapters and each story is short enough to read as a quick bedtime story. I also must say that I am impressed with how they coordinated the stories with events and holidays around the world so that you can read them when they are relevant. Plus, the fact that they are stories from so many different cultures is also a huge plus.
We just barely got this one and I plan on trying to read it as the year progresses like the book suggests so we haven’t read it all yet. I’ll probably be posting back here to let you know how I like it all when were done. However, the illustrations alone have me excited and my expectations are high.
