A bet on the children to revive our old consciousness of Earth

Very nice tales to delight young ... and old! So, first of all, this book provides enough to feed and animate well and many beautiful moments of wakefulness or sleep, to enjoy alone or with your family 8-)
Beyond this immediate appreciation, I find this book very cleverly constructed. The stories - from all civilizations - are grouped by continent.
This judicious presentation is an opportunity to stress the universality of the message, everywhere and at all times, these tales have sought to convey through the generations to lead man to behave in all its actions in a measured way respectful and very fragile balance of life, and taking care not to exhaust the wealth that the earth had generously made available.

For each of the continents, from the tales of old, a play of contrast is effected by the evocation of damage today to wildlife and flora of each region.
Without going overboard or dramatization, these examples directly related topics tales embody perfectly the anchor and about the stories of the past in today's reality. It is well seen and well fed!

At the scale of the current excess of observed damage some of which are already irreversible, the decor of destruction already very (too?) Well underway across the planet is well planted and revives the message the ancient wisdom of these tales therefore now more than ever! When a man "forgets" to respect the earth, it always ends up having to pay the price is its life (survival) with which he plays! How not to be amazed by every creation on earth - the smallest it is, each in its place and a role to play - want to preserve the beauty and respect its existence come under the most basic common sense.

A wisdom to (re) discover for yourself or to share with friends; a valuable lesson for our children who will also be enchanted by the eternal wonderful story telling.
