This story is retold from popular African folklore of the Bulu people of Cameroon, Africa. The illustrations in the book are out of this world and are unlike any I have ever seen in a children's book. I loved the book because it was kind of a David vs Goliath type of story. No matter the bully, or person there is always someone out there who is better than them or can out smart them. It really makes you think about how you act towards other people and especially how you treat others. I love reading folklore from other countries and cultures because it really makes you realize how much the same we really are. I thought the author illustrator did a great job of putting this story together and this is one I would like to have in my classroom. I especially liked the part at the back of the book where it describes the drum that was featured in the book. Really neat idea to do that. Good read.
