This is a great collection of stories that I think anyone would enjoy. They are light-hearted and comical, endearing and informational. I would definitely keep this book in a classroom library for students to peruse.

experiences searching for a version of these stories that would seem true and helpful to African American children without being overtly racist towards them, and it was very inspirational. During this Children's Lit class, I have been exploring a lot of African American Literature, and it has been fascinating to read and learn about the experiences of others in a first-hand way through their stories and literature, without the filter of other/ visual media. This is a great collection of stories that I think anyone would enjoy. They are light-hearted and comical, endearing and informational.
