Yolen, Jane. 2003. Mightier than the Sword: World Folktales for Strong Boys. Harcourt. Orlando, Fla. ISBN 0152163913
This diverse collection of folktales from around that world are put together primarily for boys. It is well arranged with a table of contents, “notes on the stories”, and a bibliography. The illustrations are all done in black and white but are used to accentuate events in the story. I think these stories would best be shared aloud with boys. Most boys would have trouble with the different names and vocabulary because they do have words that are true to each culture. These stories would be best told in a storytelling rather than in a “read aloud” session.
