Holling Clancy Holling's Stories from Many Lands by Holling Clancy Holling is a book for children ages eight to fourteen. The stories & illustrations are charming although somewhat outdated since it was originally published in 1927. I gave it four stars. Sadly, there were so many typos towards the end of the book that it was difficult to read. Little Big-Bye-and-Bye, Choo-Me-Shoo & Rum-Tum-Tummy are combined in this book. Each story is completely stand alone. I recommend it for children, parents, grandparent, teachers & librarians. I would like to thank Dover Publications & NetGalley for a complimentary kindle copy. This did not change my opinion for this review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Filled with beautiful colour illustrations, these three tenderhearted tales by a Caldecott honoree offer enchanting glimpses of foreign cultures. Little Big-Bye-and-Bye unfolds in a pueblo of the American Southwest, where an Indian boy longs for a pony. When he meets a stranger and his burro, the boy's pluck and daring help make his dream come true. Choo-Me-Shoo carries readers off to the Arctic Circle to meet an Eskimo family. The clan's adventures include getting stranded on an iceberg, making friends with a polar bear cub, catching fish through the ice, and encountering a ship in search of the North Pole. Rum-Tum-Tummy recounts the comeuppance of a naughty elephant whose ego is even bigger than his insatiable appetite. He spanks a warthog, rolls a hippo downhill, and performs other unkind pranks-but when he gets into trouble, the other animals rally to his rescue. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Because the stories and illustrations are from the 1920s, there are times when they are racially and culturally insensitive, especially one particular illustration in the "Rum Tum Tummy" story. Don't let that discourage you from reading the book, though; the stories are still good stories and the illustrations are well done.
Note: I received a digital copy of this book through NetGalley. ( )
