From stories of the fool, we learn how to avoid becoming one ourselves--as well as how to laugh at ourselves when the inevitable happens and we do something silly. The ten stories collected here deal with fools from around the world, including: \"The Silly Farmer\" from Ethiopia, \"The Extraordinary Cat\" from China, \"The Bear Who Said North\" from Finland, and \"The Proud Fox\" from the United States.Pleasant DeSpain is the author of numerous collections of multicultural stories, including the highly regarded Thirty-Three Multicultural Tales to Tell, Sweet Land of Story, and The Emerald Lizard. He has traveled all over the United States and the world, collecting stories to share with children and adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pleasant DeSpain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087483645X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874836455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e August House Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.26w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e66434 \/ Tales of Nonsense \u0026amp; Tomfoolery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 2010","brand":"Pleasant DeSpain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087034233087,"sku":"9780874836455","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5381b9f9-905c-4340-b6a6-5323aa5a6724.jpg?v=1769097923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-of-nonsense-and-tomfoolery-pleasant-despain-9780874836455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
