This book is a collection of Appalachian folktales with some highlighting titles like Molly Whoopie, Tater Toe , and others during their adventures. For example, one story chronicles Molly and her sisters as they encounter a giant woman in the woulds at night while they are seeking shelter from a long journey. Molly, who wasn't initially invited finds out about the giant's evil plot and foils it. As her and her sisters are returning home they realize there is nothing like having family around. I enjoyed these stories because I am not used to hearing different stories like these. These stories can be used as extra reading or for cultural expansion through reading out loud. ( ) Combining traditional Appalachian folktale plots with a contemporary sensibility, writer and storyteller Anne Shelby creates fourteen lively, original stories of a funny, magical, yet familiar world. Many of the stories feature a girl named Molly Whuppie, who is clever, brave, and strong. Encountering witches, giants, an ogre who refuses to do housework, unwanted boyfriends, and all manner of conundrums, Molly manages to outwit them all with a potent combination of nerve, trickery, and plain luck. Also appearing in the stories are Molly's sisters Polly and Betts, the famous Appalachian hero Jack (Molly saves him a few times), and three cornbread-baking mice. These delightful and often surprising stories are sure to appeal to readers and listeners of all ages who enjoy an adventurous tale well told. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030MIDEK/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&b...
