Until now, there have been few collections of Singapore's legends written and illustrated with children in mind. Author Diana Taylor pulls together eleven beloved myths and tales often shared from mother to child, stories of how Singapore got its name or the time a tiger was found under a billiard table at the Raffles Hotel. These stories introduce children to Singapore's multicultural past and its colonial roots.

What attracted me to this book is LK Tay-Auodard's absolutely wonderful illustrations. They are simply breathtaking. Then I read the story and Di Taylor does an amazing job. Her prose is effortlessly flawless and she draws the reader in to eacha nd everyone of these stories with the skill of a master story teller. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books in the future. I highly recommend this book!
