Reviews
Gr 1-3--Bland retellings of little-known folktales. The stories are written in choppy declarative sentences and dialogue, set in large type, and illustrated in various styles. Explanatory notes conclude each of the selections. The first is described as a mythic "why" story about how night, day, humans, and the first eclipse originated. The next is a trickster tale that is also called a legend. The note in the third book presents four historical facts about Haiti. No source notes are included. Watercolors in When Sun Ruled and Why Opposum Is Gray mimic wood- or linocuts but owe little allegiance to the cultural art of Cuba or Mexico. Small maps show each tale's country of origin in relation to the U.S. These workaday treatments can't compare to elegant productions such as Lucia M. Gonzalez's The Bossy Gallito (Scholastic, 1994), Verna Aardema's Borreguita and the Coyote (Knopf, 1991), or Linda Shute's Rabbit Wishes (Lothrop, 1995).
