Reviews
Gr. 2^-4, younger for reading aloud. Ten readable tales from Africa feature a wide assortment of animals who engage in lively battles of wit, speed, and strength. Children will delight in cheering Rabbit on as he outsmarts both Elephant and Hippo in a tug-of-war; help Leopard and his friends try to count his spots; learn how the Zebra got its stripes; discover why the Rhinoceros lives in the water; and delight in the fun-filled antics of many other animals friends. This robust collection of short stories blends together familiar and lesser-known tales, all of which are retold in traditional folktale style. Bright, vibrant cartoonlike illustrations complement the stories. The large, bold print makes the book a good choice for youngsters who are reading early chapter books as well as popular read-aloud fare. April Judge
