Holling Clancy Holling's Stories from Many Lands

Filled with beautiful color illustrations, these three tenderhearted tales by a Caldecott honoree offer enchanting glimpses of foreign cultures.
Little Big-Bye-and-Bye unfolds in a pueblo of the American Southwest, where an Indian boy longs for a pony. When he meets a stranger and his burro, the boy's pluck and daring help make his dream come true.
Choo-Me-Shoo carries readers off to the Arctic Circle to meet an Eskimo family. The clan's adventures include getting stranded on an iceberg, making friends with a polar bear cub, catching fish through the ice, and encountering a ship in search of the North Pole.
Rum-Tum-Tummy recounts the comeuppance of a naughty elephant whose ego is even bigger than his insatiable appetite. He spanks a warthog, rolls a hippo downhill, and performs other unkind pranks—but when he gets into trouble, the other animals rally to his rescue.

American author and illustrator Holling Clancy Holling (1900–73) worked as a taxidermist at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History and as an art instructor on New York University's first University World Cruise. The Caldecott-winning artist wrote and illustrated a full-page Sunday comic strip, The World Museum, in which each strip could be cut out and assembled into a diorama.
