Really So Stories

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,6 Sterne; 5 Bewertungen)

These stories for young people are Really So; they are not made up stories about bears or witches. These are short educational sketches about how our calendar came to be, where Valentine's Day came from, how pelicans live with their big beak, how we have the wonderful telegraph, and many more.
So if you are a bit tired of fairy tales, try these bite sized sections packed with what really happened. They are Really So ! . - Summary by philchenevert (2 hr 59 min)
