This exciting collection of traditional African folk tales introduces you to a host of interesting people and unusual animals. Eighteen authentic fables, recorded as they were told by tribal members of Nigerian and other cultures, range from the imaginative Story of a Farmer and Four Hyenas to an entertaining account of The Man with Seven Dogs.
In The Magic Crocodile, you'll meet a reptile with very strange powers, while The Boy in the Drum teaches a valuable lesson in the importance of obeying one's parents. In The Hare and the Crownbird, a fine, feathered friend is rewarded for its acts of kindness. You'll also learn why a ram has a large head and a tortoise a small one in The Greedy but Cunning Tortoise; and in A She-Goat and Her Children, you'll discover how a clever animal managed to provide food for her children.
Set in large, easy-to-read type and enhanced with Yuko Green's 19 lively illustrations, this collection of time-honored folk tales will delight readers of all ages.
