Stories from the Billabong by James Vance Marshall illustrated by Francis Firebrace

My boys and I really enjoy reading folklore/stories from other cultures. 
When we studied Australia, we began reading a story from this collection a few times a week.  I liked how after each story the author provided facts about the animal, plant etc the story featured.  The glossary and Aboriginal symbols in the back were very  helpful. 
The illustrator is from an Aboriginal tribe.
Warning: Some of the border illustrations depict a silhouette of a naked woman with her breasts exposed. 
-Borrowed from the library.
