The Lion Book of Wisdom Stories from Around the World

Marvelous illustrations. The lessons range from a spider who learns to share the wisdom he collected, a argument solved over what three hungry men should buy to eat, animals sharing the fruits of a tree, and so on.

For reading aloud, I would have liked pronunciation guides on names (such as Ntikuma or Anansi) and the country of origin below each title (it's in the table of contents but not always included in the body of the story).
