Seller's Description:
Color Illustrations. Near Fine. From Booklist Ages 4^-7. Italian illustrator Vitale, who attracted notice with his beautiful paintings on wood for When the Wind Stops, uses a similiar style to illustrate an appealing West African folktale. When the yam he is digging up talks back, the farmer can't believe it. His fisherman neighbor is equally skeptical until his catch gives him some lip. The pattern is repeated with other members of the community. However, when the group tells its collective tale to the chief, he dismisses it until he is taught a lesson by his talking throne. Despite an ending that is a little too brisk, this brief, cumulative tale has a simple style, strong rhythms and repetition, and zesty humor. Surrounded by patterned borders, the subtly colored spreads have stylized figures that evoke the region and flowing lines that echo the cadence of the text. Hints for telling the tale appear on the back dust jacket. Julie Corsaro--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Light crease on corner of cover, otherwise in very nice condition.
