PresS-Gr 4—In the legend of 1001 Nights, Scheherazade saves herself and the other women in the kingdom by telling stories. To keep the king from having her killed, every morning she tells him a gripping tale that leaves him hanging and wanting more by dawn. This style of storytelling is brought to life here by Mary Grace Ketner. She clearly and passionately retells three Arabian Nights tales—"Scherazade," "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and "The Peddler of Swaftham")—and an original story ("Old Dry Fry"). Her unique narrative style perfectly sets the tone and setting in each tale and captures listeners' attention. This collection would be a great tool to introduce storytelling to children in school or at home.—Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT
