Review:

"A generous, bilingual array of stories about animals, fools, lost places, musical instruments, scary or fantastic creatures, plants and trees, and the sky, ending with a selection of looping, recursive 'Endless Tales' designed to drive wakeful children off to sleep. Excellent glossary, bibliography, and notes." - Storytelling Magazine
