Buri and the Marrow by Henriette Barkow; Illustrated by Lizzie Finlay

Another great book that is available in multiple languages! This book is based on a famous Bengali story and is a great addition to a multicultural library.

Suggested Grade Level: K-3

Summary: An old woman is walking through a forest to meet her daughter when she meets a fox, a tiger and a lion. All three want to eat the old woman, Buri but she tells them they will have to wait until she comes back when she's nice and fat! However, her daughter thinks of a plan to help save her mother but worries she won't outsmart the fox.

Connections: Another book that can be used in a lesson to learn about other cultures or folktales/fables. Any other ideas on how to include this book in a lesson?

Available in  English, Spanish
Albanian, Arabic,  Bengali, Chinese, Farsi, French, Gujarati, Panjabi, Polish, Somali, Tamil, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese
