Multicultural Book** When wily animals, everyday people and magical
beings come together in a collection of Japanese fairy tales,
wonderful things are bound to happen! Each story is brilliantly
illustrated by a different talented Japanese artist. The tales
recounted here are among Japan's oldest and most beloved stories.
Entertaining and filled with subtle folk wisdom, these retold
stories have been shared countless times in Japanese homes and
schools for generations. Like good stories from every time and
place, they never grow old. Kids (and their parents!) will enjoy
hearing these stories read aloud on the accompanying CD. The fairy
tales and classic stories in this collection include: The Wife Who
Never Eats--the story of a man who learns the hard way the evils of
stinginess. The Mill of the Sea--the story of how a greedy man was
responsible for the saltiness of seawater. The Monkey and the
Crab--the crabs teach a tricky monkey a lesson in fairness and
honesty. The Magical Hood--an act of kindness reaps great rewards.
Sleepyhead Taro and the Children--a story about what can be
accomplished at the right time, and with the right help and the
right spirit. The Fox and the Otter--how a fox pays the price of
deceit and selfishness. The Gratitude of the Crane--a story about
the rewards of kindness and the danger of curiosity. The Tale of
the Bamboo Cutter--a girl who starts life very tiny turns out to be
big in many ways. All disc content is alternatively accessible on
