Stories from the Caribbean by Petronella Breinburg

The "Multicultural Stories" series brings together storytellers and artists to retell tales from around the world. Each title contains colourful artwork, while allowing space for the text, so that the different oral traditions are brought to life. Each story is introduced by a short information section that tells the reader about the place and people from which the story comes, and allows children to put the story into context.
This series provides a good introduction to the wealth of stories to be found around the world, and would make a good addition to a primary school library-- Armadillo, Autumn 00 Desirable and collectable [...] What makes them work is their integrity and synergy as a series.
