Summary: Is this the best we can do?
Comment: I was pleased to find this anthology of mythological American women, but disappointed in the telling of their tales. My granddaughters lost interest and I could see the curtain fall on their curiosity. Not a good choice.

Summary: Acid Test
Comment: I'm a teacher in the Oakland Schools in California and these tales are wonderful to read aloud. Particularly to black children because it picks up the nuances of the spoken word as they hear it. The criticism by a reviewer that the tales aren't true to their source is irrelevant. So what? These tales are for fairly young children, grades 3 through 5. Naturally, they've been cleaned up a little. I can't see by doing this that the author has robbed them of their energy or humor.The children love them. That's all that counts.
