How the bear lost his tail : and other animal stories of the forest

Townsend, John 1955- (author.). Peluso, Martina, (illustrator.).

Summary: Told over generations, often around campfires in the dead of night, these tales come from many cultures around the world. Whether beginning in the forests of Africa, America, Australia, or Europe, the stories in this book go back a long way, but here they are retold with new twists and turns for the bedtimes of today. This collection contains eight engaging stories including "How the Frog Became King of the Marshes," "Why Owls Stare," and "Why Dogs Became Our Friends." They mix humor, suspense, a few scares, and charming full-color artwork to irresistible effect.
