The Feast of the Flying Tortoise / Mmemme Mbe na-efe efe
Jessy Carlisle
Kinder- und Jugendbücher / Kinderbücher bis 11 Jahre
Beschreibung
An old Nigerian folktale says Tortoise once had a smooth shell, until he tried to fly. This traditional Igbo story explains how Tortoise tried to fool the birds and consequently ended up with a hard, rough shell.
A fun and engaging read for children, especially those of African heritage. This book is to be lauded for helping to preserve indigenous oral traditions for future generations. With illustrations entirely in black and white, it doubles as a colouring book.
#324 in the Bilingual Legends series. This bilingual book is fully presented in both English and Igbo.
