Quotes
A generous, bilingual array of stories about animals, fools, lost places, musical instruments, scary or fantastic creatures, plants and trees, and the sky, ending with a selection of looping, recursive "Endless Tales" designed to drive wakeful children off to sleep. Includes ethnographic information, introducing 11 South American cultures and presenting some sample recipes and children's games.
