Paperback. Etat : Fair. O'Brien, John (illustrateur). In this collection of "lies" from many nations, the challenge is to find the slippery truth. Author George Shannon gathers eighteen brief folklore riddles from across the globe, inviting young thinkers to test their wits against clever swindlers, wily farmers, and nimble performers. The collection follows a ropedancer in Germany who wagers on tossed shoes. Each puzzle balances exact phrasing against sneaky intentions, asking readers to weigh every spoken detail before turning the page to inspect the solution. By reading with care and not jumping to conclusions, readers will delight in discovering how these characters lie while at the same time they tell the truth. Brain Teasers: A donkey tied to an eight-foot rope easily reaches a wagon of sweet carrots thirty yards away, daring readers to spot the missing condition. Multicultural Folktales: Nigerian partners evading a herbal truth potion -- each story draws on world traditions. Problem Solving: When a rabbi orders two repentant students to place chickpeas inside their shoes, one hobbles in agony while the other walks away with an easy stride. Logic Puzzles: Grand Canyon tour guide bets five dollars that he carries more cash in his pocket than a wealthy traveler, challenging listeners to parse his exact wording. Also by This Author: Tomorrow's Alphabet, Stories to Solve and More Stories to Solve. N° de réf. du vendeur 00065349439
