People just can't live together without telling stories. We tell stories that are funny, ironic, insightful, or just simply pleasing to the tongue and ear. Stories just seem to happen. When a story happens with the force of universality, it finds its way into that pantheon of tales that is the common denominator of cultural exchange.

Loved almost every story. There was a lot of variety and whimsey, which makes for a great compilation of children's stories. For the few stories that I didn't really get along with, I think the problem was that I didn't really understand the perspective of the author, which is bound to happen given that it is such a diverse collection of stories.

This is a delightful choice when you need a light fun listen.

So much diversity!
