This is a series of creation stories from various cultures and points in time, and with the accompaniment of specific art pieces, each tale allows the reader to immerse in mythology/ folktales while finding both similarities and differences. This book would be great for upper middle school (7th-8th) or even high school as the reading is dense and full of information, but can be a great resource for studying mythology and folktales across the world.

A collection of creation myths from a range of cultures. I was excited going into this one because I love this sort of thing, but as it turns out, the book is pretty dry. Disappointing, really. Surely there's a way to retell these stories in a more engaging way? Especially since the intended audience is kids? *shrug* ( )

A great book telling different versions of how the world came to. This book captures many different cultures and folk tales, it also explains why certain cultures honor or respect animals the way they do. This is such an interesting book for any and all classrooms just purely to help students understand cultural appreciation. ( )

A lovely book, but it would have been nice to see on one page where all the stories came from instead of searching for the note at the end of each story.
