Description
Osebo's magnificent drum is the most coveted treasure in the land. A huge reward is offered to the animal that can bring it back to its rightful owner, but none succeed - not even the clever monkey or the mighty elephant. Can a small tortoise outwit the boastful leopard and claim the prize? Jessica Souhami's vibrant collage illustrations add energy and humor to this engaging tale. The short text is perfect for reading aloud, with a rhythmic flow that suits young voices. The story itself is full of movement and excitement, as Osebo's friends try their best to outsmart him. A delightful and entertaining read, ideal for sharing with children who love animals and adventure stories.
