*by M***' on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018*

This is a superb copy I received from the vendor, I am truly gratified.  The stories in the Courlander collection are great stories wonderful for use in comparing other stories from and about the folklore of Africa.  Prior to reading Chinua Achebe's classic tales, or any story or novel set in another region of the world, I set a reading requirement goal for my students that must include a rich array folklore and geography.  In addition my students research the artist who did such an outstanding job of illustrating the collection.

    a way to teach values and diversity
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016*

As an intermediate-grade teacher, I have often used stories that have been told through long periods of time and refined by a culture to teach a lesson in an interesting way.  Respect for diversity, so important today, is strengthened by seeing common values such as the importance of taking care of other people in "Kadoo's Wall."  I will use other stories as the time is right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beautifully Written and Encapsulates the Beauty and History of West African Culture
  

*by K***7 on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020*

This is a beautiful book and even better for children. This short book does a brilliant job, in my opinion, encapsulating the beauty and history of West Africa and its people. It tells the proverbs and stories that are useful to anyone!
