Reviews"A prolific Mongolian storyteller's original legend of how the distinctive dwelling known as the ger came to be invented. Adapted into spare and stately English by renowned storyteller Pellowski, the story is punctuated by quarrels. Once, all living things lived peaceably in 'a big house called the earth.' But fights began, and all went to find homes of their own -- including a man who, being 'very old' and 'very intelligent,' instructs his seven sons to gather willow branches, rope, and fleeces to construct a sturdy round shelter. But the house blows down after the old man dies because his sons have ignored his command to 'work together and tighten the ropes that keep our home on the ground....'" --Kirkus Reviews "Inherently interesting, informative and entertaining, Story of the Mongolian Tent House is especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library Multicultural Literature & Picture Book collections." --MBR Bookwatch (Midwest Book Review) "Based on an original tale by award-winning Mongolian author, Dashdondog Jamba, this fable is retold by international renowned author, Anne Pellowski. Young readers will love traveling through the vast and wild landscape of Mongolia. This beautifully illustrated book (from Wisdom Tales Press) will take them on a journey through mostly uninhabited territory carved from endless steppes, mountains and valleys." --from the Travelnitch website (travelnitch.org)
