Linear and quasi-linear equations of parabolic type Book

This book is a collection of short stories from around the world. They are folk tales about animals that stretch from spiders in West Africa all the way to seals in the Arctic.

This book is great for so many reasons. Each short story is accompanied by a page of real life facts about that animal in its environment or featured country and why the story came about. The back of the book even features the various cultures general beliefs. It is a great asset in learning about history and different countries for children. As the tales are so short, they could be used in group work, where each group is given a story to read and perform/ research the real facts / make a poster or presentation etc. The book is beautifully designed with double spread pages and lovely colourful illustrations.

Great for equal learning opportunities in a diverse class. The stories are easy to understand and could be read to a yr 3 class, while higher level classes would read unassisted or research the words they did not understand.

I enjoyed reading this book and learning of folk tales I'd never heard of.
