Book Description
for The Brocaded Slipper and Other Vietnamese Tales by Lynette Dyer Vuong and Mai Vo-Dinh
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
These five fairy tales from Vietnam were chosen because of their similarity to familiar western tales: Cinderella, Thumbelina, Rip Van Winkle, Frog Prince and Goose Girl. The Vietnamese heroes and heroines face their own trials and adventures in these stories that children of all cultures will enjoy reading and hearing. (7-11 years)
