Description
Filled with beautiful color illustrations, these three tenderhearted tales by a Caldecott honoree offer enchanting glimpses of foreign cultures.
Little Big-Bye-and-Bye unfolds in a pueblo of the American Southwest, where an Indian boy longs for a pony. When he meets a stranger and his burro, the boy's pluck and daring help make his dream come true.
Choo-Me-Shoo carries readers off to the Arctic Circle to meet an Eskimo family. The clan's adventures include getting stranded on an iceberg, making friends with a polar bear cub, catching fish through the ice, and encountering a ship in search of the North Pole.
Rum-Tum-Tummy recounts the comeuppance of a naughty elephant whose ego is even bigger than his insatiable appetite. He spanks a warthog, rolls a hippo downhill, and performs other unkind pranks—but when he gets into trouble, the other animals rally to his rescue.

Holling Clancy Holling's Stories from Many Lands includes three vintage illustrated stories: one set in the American southwest, one set in the Arctic circle, and one set in the African jungle. The stories are funny and interesting, and the illustrations are excellent, especially those for the "Choo-Me-Shoo" story.
Because the stories and illustrations are from the 1920s, there are times when they are racially and culturally insensitive, especially one particular illustration in the "Rum Tum Tummy" story. Don't let that discourage you from reading the book, though; the stories are still good stories and the illustrations are well done.
