Lawdog tells two tales from his childhood in Africa. Speaker, known as Squeaks, gets to live the mongoose dream when a python drops literally at his feet. The python has other thoughts. Chaos ensues, with the family thrown into an uproar by the chase. The trial of a goat becomes an educational experience for the young Lawdog and his even younger brother. Will justice be done? Will the goat speak in court? Read on and find out! The whole thing is illustrated by Cedar Sanderson's quirky pen-and-ink style. Pictures of Nigerian flora and fauna accompany the full pages portraying scenes from the tale, and bonus illustrations at the end will leave you amused at her whimsical imagination.
What a hoot! This is a fun one, well worth the time and money for the story.
As to the illustrations, I think they are really bad and detract from the super story.
