This is a lovely story, and the illustrations are exquisite! You will definitely enjoy this book.
Thank you for your visit.

I wonder what tortoise did this time. Did he genuinely help, or try to trick everyone as usual?
I believe I will love this book.

Thanks for the lovely review.
The answer to your question is on the tip of my tongue, but :no-spoil:
I believe you will love this book too. The story and the illustrations are both excellent.

Thank you for your visit and your comment.

C Janet wrote: 21 Nov 2021, 05:54 Can I first say that the cover is absolutely beautiful! I read and loved such stories as a kid, especially the characters (the wise tortoise, the lazy hyena, and the cunning hare). I'm certain children will love this story, not to mention the illustrations and the moral lessons that come with it. Thanks for the excellent review!
Isn’t it such a lovely cover! And the illustrations inside are breathtaking. At a pivotal part of the story, the full-page illustration projected so much excitement that I was cheering too. This is a wonderful story for children and anyone who would enjoy an escape into the simple beauty found in children’s stories.

Thank you for your visit, C Janet!

Illustrations are indeed important, and I believe this book has the most breathtaking artwork of any children’s book I have reviewed.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a visit!

There were not a lot of books where the setting was in Africa where you need to unity with others to survive. Thank you for your review.

I like that the book contains various facts about the Sahara but also Africa as a whole as well as the fact that children learn important virtues such as solidarity and unity.

I like it when authors make an effort to ensure the book is aesthetically pleasing and the contents is also top-notch. Awesome review.
This book was definitely superb in both categories! Both child and adult will be captivated by this tale.
Thank you for your kind comment and your visit.

I enjoy reading children's books too. Sometimes I am reading them with a child, but most of the time, it is the child in me that is savoring the story. :)
Thank you for stopping by!

I was pleasantly surprised by the educational bookends to this story. Cover to cover, it is an excellent read.

It seems the animals are wiser than us, their supposedly intelligent masters.

I love children's books with beautiful pictures. I wish I could touch that book. But buying a paper book from where I'm at is too expensive.

Children and illustrations are kind of intertwined because they learn by their vision mostly. I am glad that this book is well- illustrated for this purpose. Thanks for your excellent review.
