Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Inspired by proverbs, seven "unconventional and exuberant" contemporary stories "leap off the page and lodge straight in the funny bone," according to PW's starred review. Ages 12-up.
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6. An uneven collection of stories based on traditional sayings and proverbs such as "You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks" and "What Goes Around Comes Around." Some of the selections are wonderful while others are less successful. Tate modernizes some traditional tales and creates new stories for some of the others. For example, her version of "Slow and Steady Wins the Race" is about two turtles. This twist of an old tale is highly readable but confusing for those who know (and love) the traditional fable. The abrupt endings and changes from people to anthropomorphized animals require a shift in readers' mind-set that is sometimes difficult despite the chapter headings. An appealing and expertly rendered pencil drawing accompanies each story. A list of recommended readings on proverbs and sayings is appended. An additional purchase for libraries that collect heavily in folk wisdom.?Molly S. Kinney, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh
