Product Review
"Storyteller Shelby uses warmth, folksy humor and unexpected turns of phrase to bring this plucky heroine to life." -- Kirkus Reviews
Product Review
"Anne Shelby has done Molly proud. . . . We need more women like Molly and more writers like Shelby, who is not only a good storyteller but also a good scholar. Her narrative voice helps us 'know' Molly, and her scholarship helps us value the folktale tradition and its living legacy."
—Now and Then
"Storytellers . . . will relish these energetic stories, which skillfully juxtapose old-fashioned flavor and modern sensibilities."
The Horn Book Guide
"Storyteller Shelby uses warmth, folksy humor and unexpected turns of phrase to bring this plucky heroine to life, and McArdle's childlike, black-and-white illustrations provide an additional comic touch. A nice choice for intermediate and reluctant readers."
Kirkus Reviews
"Young readers and listeners will make these stories their own and enjoy retelling them for a long time to come."
