From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 4. Goode continues her fine series of folklore anthologies with this excellent collection. Readers will enjoy finding familiar tales such as "The Shoemaker and the Elves," "Teeny-Tiny," and "Wiley and the Hairy Man" alongside rarer treasures such as "Anansi and the Plantains" from the West Indies and "Little Lella" from Italy. Youngsters will chuckle over "How Big-Mouth Wrestled the Giant" in which a none-too-bright braggart outsmarts an even dimmer giant. Storytellers will want to add to their repertoires the California tall tale of "Lovesick Lopez," who becomes too fond of the pigs he raises. "Three Strong Women" and "Managing Molly" star female heroines. Also included are poems by Flora Fearne, Eve Merriam, Lilian Moore, and others. Goode's signature illustrations are bright and colorful and take full advantage of the humorous aspects of each selection. Fear no nightmares from this collection. Preschoolers will enjoy hearing these tales read aloud, and older children will find them accessible. A delightful addition to enhance any collection.?Jeanne Clancy Watkins, Upper Merion Township Library, King of Prussia, PA

From Kirkus Reviews
Like her previous efforts in this vein (Diane Goode's Book of Silly Stories and Songs, 1992, etc.), Goode offers a diverse, accessible, and well-rounded collection of stories about people big and small, interspersing old favorites (``The Elves and the Shoemaker,'' ``Teeny Tiny,'' etc.) with more unusual gems: the West Indian ``Anansi and the Plantains,'' the Japanese ``Three Strong Women,'' and the wryly feminist ``Managing Molly.'' The book opens with a wise introduction and closes with Nancy Willard's ``Magic Story for Falling Asleep''just the right note. Goode's expressive charactersfrom ogres to elvesare priceless, and the elegant design gives the stories and poems their due. It's a thoughtfully organized book, suitable for almost any folklore collection. (Folklore. 5-10) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
