I&#8217;ve been in the process of reading every book in my local library for a little over 3 years now&#8211;but I&#8217;ve been doing it rather haphazardly.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readingmylibrary.com\/\">Carrie&#8217;s<\/a> system of reading through the picture book section of her library struck my fancy, so I&#8217;ve started at the beginning&#8211;and the beginning is Aardema.  I&#8217;ve only read two of her books thus far, but it appears that she generally retells African folk-tales.  The pronunciation can be a bit tricky, but both stories I&#8217;ve read seem okay.  Not great enough that I&#8217;d recommend them, but not bad enough that I&#8217;d recommend avoiding them.
