Professional Reviews
|
| : |
New York Times Book Review: "This picture book version....is what Virginia Hamilton set out to show, what the Dillons have so astutely expounded on and what makes this version of "People" so powerful. Think of it as a triad and a triumph of words, pictures, and storytelling." |

| Publisher's Note: |
Say that the Lion would get up each and every mornin. Stretch and walk around. He'd roar, "ME AND MYSELF. ME AND MYSELF," like that. Scare all the little animals so they were afraid to come outside in the sunshine. Afraid to go huntin or fishin or whatever the little animals wanted to do. |

| Details: |
"The well-known author retells 24 black American folk tales in sure storytelling voice: animal tales, supernatural tales, fanciful and cautionary tales, and slave tales of freedom. All are beautifully readable. With the added attraction of 40 wonderfully expressive paintings by the Dillons, this collection should be snapped up."--(starred) School Library Journal. |
