This is such a lovely book full of stories from around the globe that revolve around the winter season. Its stories include quests, stories of ice, stories of animals, tall tales and even fables. Perfect for reading on a winter’s night! The illustrations are stunning and capture the heart of each tale. Our family cannot wait to add this to our home library!

This is a delightful collection of folktales and winter stories from around the world. Illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Full of whimsy and wonder, this is a stunning gift for anyone celebrating colder weather, snowy skies, and cozy nights inside.

Thank you, @NetGalley and @quartokids @flcbooks for the advance reading copy.

Given how many feral rabbits have been hanging out in my neighborhood, I had to chuckle when the very first story, from Japan, was how rabbits came to be. Then there was the Siberian story of how a snoopy rabbit/hare got long ears. Somehow, my "rabbit alert dog" wasn't impressed but I was. These stories are delightful, colorfully illustrated and many seemed to focus on the concept of "we are better together".

Separated into sections, this is one of the first cold weather related collections I've read that didn't focus almost entirely on the Christmas or holiday season. But, don't worry. The closing chapter contains several Christmas focused stories. All are traditional stories from various cultures, wonderfully, imaginatively illustrated, and can be easily read to a child in one sitting. You may feel ready to curl up in a mitten, like the creatures of the Ukrainian tale, as you read, however. Fun book.

Thank you #NetGalley and #QuartoPublishingGroup - #FrancesLincolnChildren'sBooks for sharing this wonderful book with me. I'll be recommending it to our library, not to mention thinking of folks who might enjoy some reading material for our long winter nights here in Alaska.

This is such a wonderful collection of folktales from around the world. I was so excited to see several stories I grew up with and can pass on to my own children now.

Each story tells you where it originated and are categorized by theme.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I love to style of art they used and how beautifully unique to each story they are.

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. So much so, I would have loved to see more! I think this book would have benefited from more illustrations and less verse. The longer stories make is harder to target a certain audience.

A lot of these stories lost interest for my seven year old daughter. Although I enjoyed most, I don't think I would have picked this up for myself.

The biggest critique I have is the lack of diversity in the stories. It says stories around the world but there was only one story from Jamaica. None from Africa or Belize ... It was really lacking representation of black culture.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for a copy in return for an honest review.

This is a lovely collection of stories from around the world, beautifully illustrated and the perfect length to read together with young children. Separated into sections on Birds and Beasts, Tricks and Troubles, Ice and Snow, Quests and Journeys, Spirits and Magic, and Christmas, these are all traditional tales retold with colourful and interesting images. A lovely book to share with kids throughout the winter months.I

Thanks to Net Valley for the copy in return for an honest review.

I received a free copy of, A World Full of Winter Stories, by Angela McAllister, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Asia, Caribbean, North America, and South America, this book had enjoyable stories from all over the world. I rally wish they had one from Ireland, though they had stories from England, Wales, and Scotland, which is close. A great book for the family to read to by a cozy fire,

If you are familiar with Angela McAllister’s work then you already know it’s top notch. We have been a fan of all her other volumes. It’s so nice to see a collection of winter stories that aren’t all holiday themed. This is the perfect book for dark and long January nights to share with your child. My 11 year old daughter also liked reading it on her own.

A wonderful book filled with stories from different cultures around the world. This book was a joy to read and the illustrations were beautiful and captivating. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The kids and I previewed A World Full of Winter Stories by this week. This beautiful book is filled with winter stories, folktales and legends from places like Kazakhstan, Scotland, Germany, Denmark, and several from North American tribes, such as the Ojibwa and the Iroquois. It’s quite an eclectic assortment of stories, including a few Christmas tales.

The illustrations by @olgabaumart are sweet and colorful, and the stories are quick, fun reads.

You may have noticed A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories in our lineup for this year. This series of children’s anthologies are such treasures. Wouldn’t this one be a sweet Christmas present for a family, or a cozy read aloud on cold winter nights?

A World Full of Winter Stories will be released on October 10. Thank you @netgalley for the digital ARC.

I couldn’t love this more. Telling tales from around the globe, broadening horizons and teaching such valuable lessons of morality, kindness, generosity and basic human goodness through animal folklore. And the illustrations! Just sublime! Gorgeous .

Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group/Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for the advance reading copy.

I love everything about this book starting from the cover! The contents at a glimpse will give you everything you need to know what you would expect from the book.

Amazing tales from all around the globe with beginner friendly writing flanked with gorgeous illustrations!

Get yourself ready to be star struck starting from the first story all the way from Japan! I would say most of the stories are limited to only a few countries as they are based on specific themes like “Ice and Snow”. However, you will be amazed and will love the entire book as I do!

I love this collection of stories. If a book can emit ambiance this is one that does. All I want to do is curl up by the fire with cozy socks and a hot drink and flip through these stories from around the globe and admire the beautiful illustrations.

Absolutely delightful! A wonderful collection of folk tales from all over the world. Simple enough for children to enjoy but substantial enough for an adult to peruse. The illustrations are absolutely lovely and create a cozy, whimsical experience. A magical Christmas gift for anyone in your life!
