Book Description:

In one of these traditional Vietnamese folktales, a talking frog falls in love with a student and convinces him to marry her! His classmates laugh at him and try to show how ridiculous his frog bride is, but every trick they play turns into a triumph for her. In another fable, a toad sets off for the heavens to ask the gods to bring rain to the dry land. Along the way, he gathers animal friends who help him make the gods listen.

The Asian Folktales Retold series presents originally oral stories that are extra fun to read aloud!
