Description:... The drive to pass down stories from generation to generation is a trait that cultures across the world have in common. Some of these fascinating stories are called folktales, and many are still beloved hundreds of years after they were first told. Readers will learn the characteristics that folktales across cultures share. They'll discover that fables, fairy tales, and tall tales all fall within this category, and they'll learn famous examples of each, such as the Tortoise and the Hare, Paul Bunyan, and Cinderella. The compelling narrative is accompanied by appealing artwork.
