Helpful Score: 1
This book contains legendary tales of different animals by different African tribes. The colorful, large illustations are fantastic! This would be a good bedtime story book. And for adults and added interest, there is a map and fun facts about each animal after the tale(s). For instance, I did not know before that it takes a crocodile 15 years to mature, and they can live 80 years!! A fun and informative book.
