The text is actually pretty sparing, considering the meat of the matter. Plus the regular repetition makes it a natural oral presentation. I'd like to try it out on a class of 2nd graders just to be absolutely certain, but a children's librarian can usually eyeball a potential readaloud, and that's what I think we have here.

Thank you! I knew of your love for folk tales and so am doubly honored by your praise. You perceived so well what Marshall Cavendish, Maria and I tried to convey. In case the need arises (as you mentioned in your review) to recommend other Armenian folk tales to library visitors, I am pleased to share a list from my personal library: http://www.lucinekasbarian.com/folktales.html The NYPL has my gratitude for circulating throughout the NYC boroughs more than 30 copies of my children's book about the country of Armenia. Kindest regards, Lucine Kasbarian, author *The Greedy Sparrow: An Armenian Tale *Armenia: A Rugged Land, an Enduring People Dear Elizabeth:
