Media Reviews
"A fun-filled globetrotting set of stories for youngsters, most with a little moral appended at the end, just like Aesop's Fables. There is a very much put-upon donkey and a very unhappy cap seller, thanks to some prankish monkeys. We have an extended African variation on the tortoise and the hare story. Finally, we meet Peter the Fool, a boy who gets spectacular results despite the fact that he is appropriately named." -The Montgomery County SentinelAlso By These Authors
