The Tortoise's Gift (A Tale from Zambia) - Lari Don

Popis produktu

“This Zambian folktale about a wonderful tree with a very tricky name, and the hungry animals who seek to learn (and remember) that name, has been adapted by Don as a chapter book for early readers. The repetitious nature of the story is well suited to the format, while the colorful and playful illustrations have the appeal of a picture book” — Booklist When a draught leaves all the animals hungry, one by one they try to discover the name of the magical tree that will give them its fruit if asked by name—but only one animal will succeed. This illustrated chapter book retelling of folktale from Zambia is available individually and as part of the Stories from around the World: 4 Tales of Persistence & Grit set.
