this book is great! it takes you right to the carribbean and makes you feel like you're inside of the story watching and learning. it tells 4 stories which enchant me and my family and make us all realize that if you were to change around some of the characters you can put yourself into the story, and your own everyday life. you can teach yourself that mistakes that happen in fiction stories could happen in real life. its a collection of stories that im sure will be passed down through the generations, and always be welcome on anybody's bookshelf.
An extraordinary journey both written, and visual.

An enchanting book that will transport the reader to the Carribean. Four fables where animals work their way through challenges to happy ends. They are brilliantly written in the patois of the islands.They are visually most unusual, and sophisticated. The book is interesting, and keeps you bound in curiosity. Once read... the words are yours. Once seen, the images are also part of you.
