Stories from Around the World

The book uses mnemonics to associate children fairytales characters to outline of the map of various countries. Children remember and find the map of italy because it looks like Sofia's boot. Cuba is like a mamma Aligator anxious over the birth of Pepito. Mexico is a sawfish with a borken saw singing to push the pain away. and Iraq is the Story of AliBaba forgetting what to say so that the cave open up. Mali is a puppy rushing home on his beaten bike because he knows there is a surprise party for him. You can click on the map of the world for some of the couhntries and see how they come to life and tellstories about themselves.

A cultural tale exploring global perspectives.
