Tales from Cultures Far and Near - Story CD. This collection of stories touches upon the wisdom of the Orient, the sly humour of Arabic and Native American folktales, the romance of an African love story and the ridiculous humour of a Spanish peasant folktale. The variety of these stories makes the tape an especially appealing listen, and Weiss is able to keep us aware that, wherever the source of these stories, the human beings who tell them are all related. Includes six stories of Native American, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic and African origins. For Kids 5 to 15 years. Safe and Natural Toys available from Sophie Giraffe - Natural Baby Toys Store.
