The Diane Good Book of
American Folk Tales & Songs
collected by Ann Durell
This book is comprised of nine stories and seven songs. The book opens with the song, "Yankee Doodle," and displays the music and lyrics to the song. The book includes stories about popular folk tale characters, such as Davy Crockett. I enjoyed the novel, but more so on an adult level. I am not sure whether I would want to share this with students because if may be hard for the to relate. The book does not tell when, where or why the story or song came about, which may make it harder for students to draw comprehension from this book or to build connections with it.
