The Barefoot book of earth tales


retold by Dawn Casey
Published by Barefoot Books, Bath 2009

With earth care in the spotlight at the moment, here is a perfect offering of stories drawn from myths, legends, fairytales and folktales from around the globe. Chosen to illustrate the importance of our relationship with the natural world, they are nicely matched with colourful illustrations in a folksy style. Great for reading aloud, and there is a fun activity to go with each of the seven stories. Recommended for primary and intermediate level.

My daughter is 4 yrs and she loves illustrations, pictures and the like. I would like for her to be interested in text also. Do you have a suggestion on how I can get her to like texts too?
