Asian Folktales for Children brings together 7 delightful folktales from across Asia—including Korea, Japan, India, the Philippines, Indonesia, China and Thailand.

  • Baka the Cow and Kalabaw the Water Buffalo (Philippines)
  • The Mousedeer Becomes a Judge (Indonesia)
  • Liang and His Magic Brush (China)
