Tales from Silver Lands by Charles J. Finger

3.0

And the Newbery read/re-read continues. This is another early one. We used to take our kids to storytellers. So I've some familiarity with Anansi and Coyote tales. These are a bit different from those in that they are apparently from South and Central America. One of the challenges with these stories is that what works in the oral tradition doesn't necessarily work as well in the written. And where one of these stories might be a treat, nineteen of these stories are an annoyance. And an inconsistent annoyance, because a few were okay, and some left me wanting more. But even more were just tedious. Not an especially fun read. And yet would probably work as a single story though without pictures. 2.5 of 5.
