This is, of course, very nice. But not the best “how did” books I've read. I prefer [b:Just So Stories 34053 Just So Stories Rudyard Kipling https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546075870l/34053.SY75.jpg 2475078] as that, and [b:The Tales of Uncle Remus: The Adventures of Brer Rabbit 223627 The Tales of Uncle Remus The Adventures of Brer Rabbit Julius Lester https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391088821l/223627.SX50.jpg 216578] as Americana folk tales. (Now, I read that as an excellent Finnish translation, I don't like the style of writing, as I'm not very good with... I don't know if that is Ebonics or something else, but I like to read my English as proper as possible. After all, it's a foreign language to me.)This is not written with any kind of accent or slang, but it is a bit... too “educational” to my taste. I keep thinking about [b:Animal Farm 170448 Animal Farm George Orwell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1325861570l/170448.SY75.jpg 2207778], and that is not something one should be thinking about when reading a children's book :-D So, only 4 stars.
