The 1925 Newbery Medal Winner for best children's literature published in the United States, this collection of Central and South American indigenous folk tales holds stories that will still be new to most North American ears. Full of cultural charm, these tales also hold the same degree of strangeness, flights of fancy, and fearful shadows that can be found in the tales of European-based folklore. This book is entertaining for adults as well as children. (Summary by Lynette Caulkins) (6 hr 28 min)

Nice for the academic audience, but not for children
Bill Cosby
(5 Sterne)
Stories are not meant for children. They do NOT include lessons on the evils of whiteness or heteronormativity. They are, however, useful to the academic sociologist because they are vivid depictions of just how backwards and Raycyst society was back in 1925. We have progressed so much since then but have much much further to go. Imagine a publisher publishing a kids story today that did not at least try to attack the systemic raycysm that lies at the heart of American capitalism.
nice kids stories
