Then Crow hears the magnificent voice of the Storytelling Stone - an ancient rock that tells the tales of the Long Ago Time, when the Sky Woman trod the Avove World and a child could alter the ways of people.

Abiyoyo: Based on a South African Lullaby and Folk Story
Seeger, Pete
New York: Scholastic Inc., 1994. Scholastic 1st Ed 2nd printing Cover bright, minor edge wear, rubs chips, lt folds Pages clean bright white tight Reading level: Ages 4-8 From Publishers Weekly Folksinger, musician and storyteller Seeger first told this story-song to his children over 20 years ago and has now written it as a book. It's based on a South African lullaby and folksong, yet it's too rollicking and exciting to lull a child to sleep. A ukulele-playing boy and his magician father are always getting into mischief, so they are banished to the edge of their town. There they have an opportunity to redeem themselves when Abiyoyo, a horrible, people-eating giant approaches the village. The story is so lyrical that Seeger's voice can be heard on every page. Hays, in his first picture book, creates a beautiful multicultural village. His sea of many-colored faces and costumes is exhilarating and expressive. The giant Abiyoyo is massive and jagged-toothed, but childlike and nonthreatening. The book is a triumph of storytelling and art. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Hays, Michael . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information) Offered by FrauBucher (IOBA) (United States)
